"Sergeant parachut1st demonstrating the 'LMG valise' in which the Bren gun was carried on the jump. It was obviously vital for the parachut1st to 'get rid of' the heavy valise as soon as his canopy opened—to land with it strapped in this position would probably be fatal. Just visible at the front of the valise are quick-release pins securing the straps around neck and leg,joined by a line. In his right hand the sergeant holds the canvas friction device by which he lowered the valise on its 20 ft rope;
the rope's attachment to the right hand side of his harness is just visible below his right elbow."
