I just got off the telephone with Barbara Billingsley, and
here is what young Frederic is trying to say.....

        Well, for WWII my guess would be: mess kit, an entrenching
tool (if the M1928 pack system, if still attached), maybe some lo-cal
food (slop, as they called it), matches, maybe some canned food,
cigarettes, some bandages, and more medical supplies (if they were
a medic, obviously!)
        For modern era: a Magellan satellite location (GPS) device,
MRE's, or a Power Bar...(I got this out of my SEAL book, it depends,
you be the judge). Possibly  a radio, or a hand-held walkie-talkie,
extra batteries, bandages, medical supplies, or an extra box of
bullets, and an extra set of BDU's.
        For the Vietnam era, I can give you exact details, but I'm
too tired to keep typing, so if you want to know, LMK.

Barbara told me that if I call again with one of these, she's
gonna start charging me to translate.....

                                        All in good fun,
