Has anyone come across any photos of this uniform or know what type of ammo pouches were used? Pat.

Brazililan pictures.
Here's a couple of links for photo's of the BEF.
Apparently, because BEF's own uniforms were thought to be unsuited for the Italian/European theatre they were issued with American uniforms.
The last link is a page dedicated to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.
Hope it's of help,
Regards

You’re welcome Pat, I only tried youtube as a last resort and I was very surprised at the amount of material that was posted there regarding Brazil, a little grainy maybe but very interesting.
For those who posted it, a vote of thanks.
