British Army 1937 Pattern Haversack

*Note* Most of these come from RAF stock as best as we can tell. Due to the varying ages (up to 80 years) colour/hue varies greatly. Sorry we cannot take requests 

These haversacks were the pack mule of both British and Commonwealth forces during World War 2. The 1937 pattern served all over the world and continued to persist with reserve units well into the Vietnam War (and in some cases after). This haversack is designed to attach to 1937 pattern webbing and can also be carried standalone with a detachable shoulder strap.

Accessing the main compartment is easy with simple dual straps/buckles opening the main flap. The inside is partitioned in the middle and the rear split in two. The typical war time load was 2 mess tins stored on one side, water bottle in the other and a poncho in the large compartment to cushion your back. 

With a design from the 1930's and still doing the hard yards these could quite easily keep chugging along until the next centenary. Add one to your collection today!
