WW I - what is this for ?
I've had this back pack thing for Quite awhile, always wondering what it was for.
One of the straps has the mfg name on it and date 1916 Looks to be NOS- or very little used judging by the felt "cushions" for shoulders and hips Two hooks at the top corners, (one bent) and attachment points all around the edge of a thin but sturdy plywood. Anyone know?

Hi Marc
It looks like some variant of the "Yukon Pack", a loose term for packs capable of carrying large heavy loads such as water cans, ammo crates etc, forward by individual soldiers.  https://cefresearch.ca/phpBB3/search...=Pack&start=15 I have a post-WW2 one. Can we see the stamp? C Broad Arrow? regards Darrell

Hi Marc
So it is British. At least British-made. I cannot find a similar one. Excellent condition.  MW&S Ltd made a lot of British WW1 webbing. Still in business today.  regards Darrell

I would think it would have been in some use by Cdns, otherwise how did it get here and in such unused condition?
Several have looked at it, no real answers yet. A mystery item, I wonder in some British webbing expert might know? Anyone have connections to such a person (peoplekind)
