Water Bottle (canteen) webbing harness for 1908 Pattern equipment. The first issue W.E. Patt. '08 Carrier, water bottle, consisted of a 2" web strap with Twigg buckles on each end that passed under the Water bottle from end to end, sewn to a 1" web strap that passed horizontally around the Bottle's mid-section. A second 1" strap passed under the bottle from front to back. This strap was sewn to the back horizontal but extended past it, ending in a crimped brass tip. This extension was used when the Carrier was mounted on the Haversack. A fourth, vee-shaped 1" strap of thin, single weave web was sewn to the back horizontal. At its apex, this securing strap has a fastener crown. The spigot portion of the fastener was mounted front center on the horizontal. Finally, a second fastener crown was located on the rear 1" vertical strap near the bottom. This one connected to a spigot on the front of the Haversack, when the Carrier was mounted on the Haversack.
