Captain Cassar and Cpl Hatch have the period tents.
A few guys had wartime dated cots (Lee and Hatch IIRC).
I was in one of Cassar's tents. For the personal US GI sleeping equipment I used a 1938 dismounted rain coat as my ground sheet. A GI Blanket on top and a mountain sleeping bag. Another GI Blanket wrapped around my Griswold Bag (M1 Garand Individual Aerial Container) as a pillow.
I woke up Sunday morning with a worm or two on my face.
