Specialized Field Gear
of the Early 20th Century

(1900-1913)

 

This section contains specialized field gear that was in use by the Imperial Russian Army and Navy in the early years of the twentieth century prior to the Great War.  In it you will find mess tins, entrenching tools, canteens, and other such gear.  The pieces here reflect the rapidly changing nature of warfare that would herald the horrors of the Great War.  Additional pieces of field gear will be added as they are acquired.  As this section is under development, keep watching for updates...
