PeleliuMarine1944 Posted June 21, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2016 One of my favorite things to collect is Marine Corps stuff from WWII, specifically Usmc packs. For the pack couple of months I've tried to buy as many Marine corps packs I could, and I think I have enough to show fellow forum members, and be proud of all of em. First photo is a family photo of some of the packs that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeleliuMarine1944 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted June 21, 2016 This pack comes with a P3 canteen cover all named to W.E Jones, this is the same pack pictured in the middle of the first photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeleliuMarine1944 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted June 21, 2016 The pack named to Herbert J, interesting enough, is that the pack is also named to three other Marines, that I could not research, most likely in the 4th Marine Division as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
