History / Summary
This model of haversack is not found in any other British or NATO webbing equipment. It is a very "home-grown" design, and is a part of a substantial deal that was made with M.E.Co. (Mills Equipment Company) during the late 40s.
The sack serves the same function as the British Pattern '37 Haversack, and carries: Rations, mess-tin, Esbit stove, ammunition, hold-all, sweater, socks and camouflage net.
There are a number of different brass fittings and webbing loops distributed all over the small pack. Most of them are for attaching the blanket roll with the small pack straps and other bits and pieces. The inner compartment is laterally divided into two compartments. One large front compartment and one smaller rear compartment.
