WORLD WAR TWO US ARMY MEDICAL BANDAGE AND DRESSING
PACKETS: As would have been part of the
bandaging material carried by the Combat Field Medics
their haversacks and in the inventory of battalion aid
stations, casualty clearing stations and field
hospitals, these bandages dated from World War Two.
These are a nice selection to add to your US Army
medical collection.
I have the following packets
available, shown below with descriptions and
accompanying photographs, and each is priced
individually.

NO. 1 WORLD WAR TWO US ARMY
“DRESSING, FIRST AID, CAMOUFLAGED, LARGE” – STILL IN
ORIGINAL SEALED POUCH: This World War Two
vintage US Army Carlisle Large Camouflaged First-Aid
Dressing is still sealed in the original pouch, and
packed in the khaki colored cardboard box. These
dressings were intended for issue to Medical Department
personnel, carried in the Combat Medic’s shoulder bags,
or in the inventory of the field hospitals at the
various levels. As a result of the paper vs. metal
packaging, these dressing packets did not survive the
passage of time in large numbers.
Manufactured by Millburn Mills, Inc., these packets are
in excellent condition, with the interior pouch still
sealed, the box is full form with no misshaping, and it
retains fully legible clean printing on all sides.
(1005) $35
