Well first you need a table. Until the large desk that I have came out very late in the war all the field desks were set on top of tables. I'd suggest finding one of these:

The US Army field table. For authenticity yours should have square legs and not round ones as are used later. But the design is virtually unchanged from WW2 until the 80's. On top of that you can put your typewriter and other "stuff" For a shelf and doubles as storage/carrying case for your "stuff" I'd get an ammo or ration crate. Like one of these:

Alternatively you could use other crates that may be easier to find for you depending on where your WarCo was located. An Army Air Base is going to have lots of stuff in crates of all sizes for aircraft and vehicle maintenance. A French town might have some wine crates...
