WWI Pack Kit


The typical U.S. World War I pack kit, issued to infantry soldiers, contained essential items for both survival and combat in the unforgiving environment of the front lines. The standard kit included a haversack, blanket roll or shelter half, mess kit, canteen, extra ammunition, entrenching tool, gas mask, and personal items like socks, hygiene tools, and rations. Designed for mobility, the pack allowed soldiers to carry only what was necessary, yet the weight of these vital supplies reflected the constant burden they faced. Made from durable canvas and leather, these items were built to endure harsh conditions, but the very necessity of such a kit highlighted the hazard of soldiers’ lives, where survival hinged on having the right tools at all times amidst constant danger.
