US Vietnam M1967 First Aid / Compass pouch 1974

US Vietnam M1967 First Aid / Compass pouch

The nylon M1967 pouch replaced the M1956 version and was used for carrying either a bandage or a lensatic compass. Like its' predecessor it had a drain hole and 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 M1967 nylon pouch succeeded the M1956 design, serving Vietnam-era soldiers as a versatile field accessory for first aid supplies or lensatic compasses. Featuring a practical drain hole and single slide keeper, it attached securely to the pistol belt or suspender webbing. This durable piece exemplifies mid-century military engineering and remains a sought-after collectible for Vietnam War enthusiasts and uniform historians.
