WW2 Canadian P37 Web Skeleton Water Bottle Canteen Carrier C Broad Arrowed

The WW2 Canadian P37 Web Skeleton Water Bottle Canteen Carrier is an original piece of military equipment issued to Canadian forces during the Second World War. Constructed from durable webbing material, the carrier is specifically designed to hold the standard-issue water bottle, ensuring secure transport on the soldier’s web gear. This model, known as the “skeleton” carrier, utilizes an open framework for reduced weight and improved ventilation around the canteen. The carrier features the characteristic “C” mark, denoting Canadian manufacture, as well as the British Broad Arrow stamp, indicating government property. Its adjustable web straps and metal fittings allowed it to be easily attached to the P37 webbing set. The design reflects utilitarian wartime requirements, emphasizing practicality and standardization across Commonwealth armies. This carrier is representative of field gear widely used throughout various theaters of war by Canadian military personnel during the 1940s.
