Answer 3

A soldier's bag in World War I may have contained bootsand socks if the soldier had an extra pair. It may have contained a canteen of water and rations such as bread or canned food. It may have contained a helmet if the soldier didn't have one already on. It may have contained lighter weight, smaller sized rounds of ammunition and weapons.

Answer 4

the equipment would vary from army to army. But, from the American soldier, often called "doughboy", the basics were: uniform, helmet, rifle, bayonet, gas mask, cartridge belt, ammo, mess kit, canteen/cup, first aid pouch, haversack, bacon tin, condiment can, poncho, shelter half. A soldier would have many personal effects he could acquire such as tooth brush, comb, foot powder, pocket knife, etc.
