Cote_1918 Posted February 7, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 7, 2021 Any insight on what US Army blankets would look like from the 1910's? Most the ones I see are USMC or post war. Thanks- Cote1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyler Posted February 7, 2021 Share #3 Posted February 7, 2021 Also as I understand the blankets were first produced in Olive drab in 1905. Here is some interesting information on the evolution of the early blankets showing changes etc US Army Blankets (hardscrabblefarm.com) http://www.hardscrabblefarm.com/80th/ww1-blankets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cote_1918 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks for the pictures, they were very similar to civil war blankets just different color schemes it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxrobot Posted November 14, 2021 Share #7 Posted November 14, 2021 It seems as though every blanket I get is different. Only the green one is dated - 1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
