Here's mine I just got it It needs some minor repairs and cleaning but still its a very nice one
BTW, if you can recommend any method of cleaning those old dirt stains - I would be greatful. Just how to 'try' to remove them without putting whole rucksack into any water...

Hi 100 (Albert)
I saw that you posted the same on another Forum I have been going through my books since then,Not one has a packing order they do have some lists from this I would say it was some what up to the individual and what type operation he was on .here is a list from a Ski patrol
Clothing and Eguipment
Clothing Winter combats suits are issued if they are available ;other wise the following are issued:mountain trousers or longtrousers;ski bootsor laced boots (large enough for three pairs of socks)short puttiees or ski gaiters ;camouflage suit or camouflage cloak;three sets of woolen underwear;additional protective clothing(pullovers,sweaters,Belly bands,and jock straps);one pair of gloves and one pair of woolen mittens;no overcoats,but three woolen blankets insted (2 with the combat train);no steel helmet but cap with white cover instead face mask and snow goggles (if Available)
Note that the Combat train carried some of the Equipment and the troops would of had light warm gear and there climbing kit with them
