Wanted: For C-15TA: "Waterproof blanket case"

[derk derin]

I have some Canadian issue “Blanket Valise bags” that hold 10 blankets. Although they don’t look like the ones in the pictures I was busy today taking pictures of all my stretchers and thought I would post some pictures of the blanket valise.

(It’s so nice to be retired and have the time to tinker around the house!)

Thanks for that, Derk! What is the approximate size of these Valises, Blanket, please?

The blanket cases for the C15TA would be stowed on top of four haversacks, which gives an idea of their size.

Happy retirement and keep making pictures of your collection!

Sorry Hanno, been a busy few weeks!

The measurement of my blanket valise is;
32 inches/82 centimetres long
22 inches/52 centimetres wide
17 inches/43 centimetres deep
It’s designed to hold 10 blankets.

I managed to buy a 1943 blanket valise from Chris Gareau in North Okanagan, BC, Canada. He was so kind to drop it off at Robert Morrison who was so kind to ship it over to me. The MLU express still works!

Still looking for the C15TA waterproof blanket case, though! Even if it is bad condition so I can use it for a pattern.
