US Army Pack

[mick56]

I'm wondering what this army pack was used for. 1st pic it's laid out flat. 2nd pic I folded in the sides. 3rd pic is how I guess it's supposed to be, about 10" wide and 16" tall. 4th pic has what looks like ammo loops for maybe shotgun shells. Last pic has a number.

I believe that's an M-1910 Haversack, described here: http://www.history.army.mil/html/museums/messkits/Field_Mess_Gear(upd_Jul09).pdf
