m1a2u2 Posted January 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2019 These are the Haversack (attached to the belt) and the Blanket Bag, both made by the Philadelphia Depot. I'm not sure what the proper nomenclature for these are. In Both Alec and Moran's book they're called the M1904 pattern. These were widely used by Marines at Veracruz in 1914 and in the occupation of Haiti in 1915. First up is the Blanket Bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1a2u2 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted January 2, 2019 Next up is the M1904 Haversack that attaches to the cartridge belt. This one was made at the Philadelphia Depot in 1912 and saw action in Veracruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
