    2. Description
      I set up a display of 1870's thru 1918 equipment for a guest who expressed interest in turn-of-the-century time period. I was wanting to show the evolution of the infantryman's equipment from the Indian Wars time period up to WWI. There are three pieces of reproduction equipment in the photo: at canteen cap, a shovel carrier and a first aid pouch.
