USMC Blanket and Shelter Half
An important part of a Marines 782 gear was his blanket roll. The blanket roll consisted of 1 blanket, 1 shelter half, 1 guy line, 1 folding tent pole, and 5 tent stakes. Before World War 2, the tents were khaki colored. By 1943, reversible camouflage tents were being issued. The Marines contracted the POWERS & Co to assist in manufacturing them due to the increase of demand. All shelter halves were the same and any 2 Marines could put them together to make a tent.

Something so un thought of when it comes to solders kit, but lust as important as his rifle. Great to see that even the most unthought of pieces of history are kept for the future. Keep up the good work.

Scouting memories - we used army surplus shelter halves like that on camping trips - good times!

In the mid 70’s I had the first WM in my platoon. Nobody would buddy up with shelter half’s with her. Finally I had to order someone to do so...

When I was in the USMC we rolled our blankets into the shelter half. A requirement in 1969 boot camp at Paris Island especially when we went to Elliot's beach. My shelter half was OD green. Why didn't you serve in the Marine Corps? You seem to have a diversified interest in all things USMC. Yeah, when you rolled all that stuff into yer shelter half it had better be nice and tight. Nothing like being beat with a shelter pole and have the pegs thrown at you.

The military probably wasn't interesting to him in his younger days, and by the time he started getting into USMC history, he was too old to enlist. Thats just my guess.

Is there any truth to the observation that the shelter half pattern, pre-WW II, was changed to "the Iwo Jima shelter half pattern" later?

Where can I get one of these? I’m trying to make a U.S.M.C re-enactment costume/uniform.
