Poke Sacks/Ration Bags were not military issue, but were found to be commonly used during the period. Often used to carry rations and other personal effects. All bags have hemp cord pulls. They were available in many styles and materials from scraps at home, such as duck, muslin or calico prints. Our bags are made of middle weight canvas. Special size orders available on request.
