MILITARY SURPLUS U.S. Army WWII Tent Shelter Half

The pup tent was used by virtually all units, although there was often not enough time to set them up in combat zones. Sometimes the best a soldier could do was lay it down as a ground cloth and sleep on top of it. In formal bivouac areas, neat rows of pup tents were the norm. When a soldier had to provide for himself individually, the shelter half could be used as a rain fly, wind shield or as a blanket.
