WW1 British, 1908 Pattern Haversack Third Issue, 1918 (with 1919 dated Brace Strap).

The Haversack would have carried: rations, a mess tin, a white towel, wool shirt, wool socks, a holdall, and a rifle cleaning kit.

The pack is in good used condition, front closure straps are excellent and side buckles and straps are good. The rear is in good order and complete with original straps and buckles to base and sides. The inside is in good condition with minor dirt and dust and is complete with internal divide. The underside of the closure flap is maker marked ME CO 1918.

This haversack comes with a 1919 dated brace strap and has, I suspect, a layer of later applied KG3 Blanco.

Please check my other listings for ‘pack fillers’ that could be added to enhance this small collection of ‘Tommie’s’ personal kit.
