What were these used for?

[Gary Cain]

I've had this water transporter gor a few years now and have allways wondered if it was for cavalry use or for commissary. Any ideas? Currently it is housing a drop container parachute!

Hi Gary !!!
I always considered those as regular water buckets - just like canvas buckets used by USArmy, I'v never thought about some spscial purpose
