Early WWII Philippine Scout Impression gear (Bataan) (Infantry, not cavalry)
1. M1917A1 doughboy helmet - This has a brown helmet liner and the same chinstrap as the M1 helmet

2. OD wool shirt - They wore khaki in the summer but around November they change to the OD wool for their field shirt.

3. Khaki pants - Sometimes a classic GAP pair of pants will do. The D-ickie's work clothes brand that you find in Walmart has the identical right cut and pattern for both shirt and pants
Check out the khakis here: whatpriceglory.com/usunif2.htm
4. Service Boots - Russet brown ankle boots with toe cap. This looks exactly like the paratrooper jump boots except it's ankle length. You can substitute the jump boots since it will be covered by the khaki leggings.

5. Leggings - (army issue 8 hooks/17 holes) Note: Navy/Marine corps usually have only 6 hooks/13 holes - do not get these.

6. M1 Garand rifle - Contrary to popular belief, they did not use 1903 Springfields in Bataan. The combat units of the Scouts (45th Infantry, 57th Infantry, 26th Cavalry, Combat engineers) were issued M1 Garands in 1941. The artillery, and other auxilliary PS units may have used the 1903.
Note: The Garands had brown leather slings with brass (golden yellow) hardware: the one shown somewhere on this page: www.bayonetinc.com/us_weapon%20related.htm
7. M1905 bayonet - This has the 16" blade with wooden handle panels.

I've seen early war army combat units with soldiers wearing a mix of the M1924 and the M1910 first aid pouches.

They also used the M1A1 - www.atthefront.com/us_gear_tngbag.jpg
They threw out the gas mask and used the bag to carry grenades, ammo, and food.

This is the basic enlisted PS infantry. The cavalry is slightly different.
