US General Purpose Ammo Bags Also known as Grenade Bags or Demolition Bags. New reproduction, KHAKI with OD trim. These are made like 1944 production originals with a hook on one end and a D-ring on the other. No one knows why they were made this way, but by the end of the war many had a hook on each end.
In 1944 these were authorized at one per rifleman in all Infantry rifle squads, later changed to two per rifleman. These bags require a General Purpose Strap (sold separately) for use as
a shoulder bag. The musette bag strap will not work with this bag.
