Actaully issued kit. There were also water heaters for the Ferret,
Saladin, Saracen and the Stalwart. The one's from the Ferret tended
to get ruined pretty quick. The larger "boiling vessels" from the
larger wheeled vehicles were better. The Challengers had them as
well. I don't know for a fact, but as I understand it almost every
post war combat vehicle in British service had them.
