WW2 Canadian Army P37 Small Pack C Broad Arrowed

The WW2 Canadian Army P37 Small Pack (C Broad Arrowed) is a standard-issue component of the Pattern 1937 Web Equipment, widely used by Canadian forces during the Second World War. Constructed from sturdy khaki-colored canvas, this pack was designed to carry personal gear, rations, and other essentials for soldiers in the field. It features a main compartment with internal dividers, reinforced seams, and a flap closure secured by web straps and brass buckles. The “C” broad arrow marking indicates official Canadian military acceptance. The pack attaches to the rest of the P37 equipment set via webbing straps, typically worn high on the back. Its functional design prioritized durability and ease of access. The P37 Small Pack remained in service through the war and into the postwar period. Surviving examples are valued for their representation of mid-20th-century military standard issue gear and offer insights into wartime logistics and equipment design.
