Notes Regarding the Use of Over-the-Shoulder Blanket Rolls 4. Follow-Up: “Like a Pedlar's Pack.”: Blanket Rolls and Slings 5. Articles on Knapsacks and What Soldiers Carried in Them \ British Knapsack Timeline, 1758-1794 1758-1765 (and earlier), Single-pouch purse-like leather knapsack carried by British troops, as pictured in paintings by David Morier (1705-1770) and Edward Penny, R.A. (1714-1791). These knapsacks could not accommodate a blanket. 1768, Cuthbertson recommends “square” knapsacks with two shoulder straps. 1771, Painting of a private soldier of the 25th Regiment of Foot shows him wearing a hair pack with two shoulder straps. His knapsack seems to be a single-pouch model made of hide covered with hair, and, given the maud (a plaid cloak, worn by shepherds in Scotland) slung over his shoulder, could not accommodate a blanket.
