Description

WWI US M1910 HAVERSACK COMBAT FIELD PACK-
1ST PATTERN
WWI/WWII US ARMY M1910 Haversack-1st Pattern.
Standard pack issued to US leg troops in WWI. The Marines also used them.
In 1910 the U.S. Army adopted the M-1910 haversack (or M10) as the standard back pack for all infantrymen. The pack is essentially a sheet of rugged khaki-colored canvas that folds around its contents (bedroll, clothing, daily rations, and assorted personal items), and is held together by flaps and adjustable buckle-straps. The two shoulder straps are designed to attach to a web belt or suspender configuration. The exterior of the pack has loops, rings, and grommet tabs for attaching a bayonet sheath, a "meat can" (mess kit) pouch, and a canvas carrier for a short-handled shovel (a.k.a. entrenchment tool).
1st Pattern features: Wide front straps and a rounded base on the mess tin pouch.
The 100% cotton canvas is the correct weight, the color is a OD#2 pea green, and the webbing is shuttle loomed.
