Waterproof Pouch

Small rectangular khaki cotton pouch with flap closure secured by a single metal snap fastener. The exterior is made of heavy cotton canvas, while the interior is coated for waterproofing, suggesting use for protecting small items such as bandages, documents, or rations from moisture.

Edges are bound with lighter cotton tape reinforcement. The overall construction and materials indicate a Canadian Army-issue waterproof utility pouch, part of personal field gear during WWII.
