Hi all, please tell me:

1) In book "Manual for nonkomissioned officers and privates of cavalry of the army of the US, 1917",
shows aluminium mess cup Model of 1908. But the cavalryman already It has included canteen, with its own cup.
Why was the need mess cup Model of 1908? Maybe someone can tell me?

Attachment 73576

2) Which soldiers used to "Cover, Canteen, Mounted, M-1910", with hook on the back side of the cover?
If I understand correctly, the cavalry was not used?

Thank you in advance for your response,
Michael
