oldabewla Posted May 9, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2015 This recent find is a new one for me, I'm thinking it's a WWII corpsman personal effects bag? I remember seeing Saving Private Ryan and when the guys were digging threw the bag of KIA dog tags with a draw string as this bag is the same type. Odd think with the bag the bottom of the bag has a square bottom and is marked on two sides of the bag as pictured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberry 9 Posted May 20, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 20, 2015 Very nice. I'm always looking for one too but only seem to find Vietnam era ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29navy Posted May 20, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 20, 2015 It's actually called a gun bag. It was used to put medical supplies (bandages, tourniquets, etc) out and accessible at battles stations, i.e., gun tubs, gun mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
