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

Thanks for the pictures, they were very similar to civil war blankets just different color schemes it seems.

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
