The use of the US M10 flask by the US Army 

The US M10 flask was a standard piece of equipment issued to all American soldiers during the Second World War. Designed to be robust and practical, it was used on all fronts, from the forests of Europe to the jungles of the Pacific. Carried in its khaki canvas pouch, it was easily attached to a belt or shoulder strap, providing quick access to water in any situation. Soldiers appreciated its lightness and strength, essential for coping with long days on the march or periods of intense combat. The bakelite stopper, linked by a small chain to prevent it from being lost, bears witness to the attention paid to practical details. This canteen symbolises the simplicity and efficiency of American equipment of the time, always designed to make life easier for soldiers in the field.
