Valise in Marching Order 1847


The valise or knapsack is shown front and back in these drawings. The shoulder straps are attached to buckles at the base of the valise and a strap goes across the chest to stop them slipping off the shoulders. The rolled greatcoat is held on by three straps, and the covered mess tins are attached to the two white straps on the back of the valise.Copies of Raffet sketches by CCP Lawson.
