M1956 First Aid / Compass Case

FSN
8465-577-4927

The canvas M1956 pouch was used for carrying either a field dressing or a lensatic compass and had a single slide keeper on the back that was used to attach it to either the pistol belt or the web keeper on top of the padded portion of the suspenders. The first pattern pouch was little changed from the experimental EX-54 version in that the main body had no edging and no drain hole.
