Original Item: Only One Available. If you read Guadalcanal Diary, author Richard Tregaskis' first-hand account of the Marine Corps' early days of fighting on the Pacific Island, you will find several references to the lowly poncho's role as a shelter from the elements. These WWII USMC ponchos are hard to find today, especially one in excellent condition. The ponchos are reversible pattern poncho with green camo for the jungle and tan camo for beach sand camouflage. These ponchos came in two styles: one style had snaps that allowed the wearer to fasten the poncho around his arms like sleeves - the other had no such snaps. This version is the later and is offered in excellent condition with no visible maker markings.
