ael: how you my name is michael mccloskey, i'm here to tell you about what the average soldier from theitionary force and world war i thought, carried, that sort of thing. what we have to start with, this is the 1910 haversack. this is what we would call a knapsack or backpack today. but this is what all the soldiers would have carried everything they would have needed at least according to the , united states government's view. in the back you have a a pouch where you would keep your med utensils perhaps , a photograph of someone you wanted to have access to quickly. underneath that, you would have an entrenching tool. for most people it would be a shovel. you didn't have the combination areenching tools that you familiar with later on, but during world war i you would at least have one man carrying one of these to break up the dirt and loosen it so it would be shoveled out of the way at the time. then, to open the pack you would unattach a buckle to the front flap, and then you would open three more buckles in the back and the bag opens flat. what you do from there, you can pack this
