| | World War One Canteen on Omaha Beach? infoHaving seen my replies, yes, sorry, there's no Easy White sector on Omaha. Dog White is what I meant to write. Beween Exits Dog 1 (Vierville sur Mer) and Dog 3 (Les Moulins) where a mix of A Coy, F Coy and G Coy of the 116 Regiment of 29th Division made it up the bluffs before cutting accross West to Vierville is where I found it. About ten feet from the top of the bluff. Last edited by edrob357; January 25th, 2006 at 14:03.. |

Is it possible you meant Dog White Sector? Perhaps Easy Red Sector? Edit: Yeah, same picture I was looking at earlier. Seems my browser did not get the picture up fast enough. Not sure if this will help you any: http://www.olive-drab.com/od_soldiers_gear_canteen.php This one has a bit of info on WWI messkits. http://glennhyatt.com/messgear/messgeare.htm Quote:

When my uncle shipped with the 34th ID in 1942, everyone in his unit had WW1 kit. I can't really speak for the 29th on D-Day, but I imagine there was at least a few WW1 canteens still being used by the troops.

Hell, I was issued a canteen cover that was dated 1921 during basic. I mailed that home and said I lost it during a FTX. The Army works on this simple idea. "Just because it's old doesn't mean it's useless." |
