Original British WWII Pattern 1937 Medic Shell Dressing Shoulder Bag with 6 Field Dressings - dated 1941
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely service used condition British WWII Pattern 1937 (P-37) Medic's Shoulder Bag, which definitely looks to have seen some real use in the field. The bag measures about 12"W x 10"W x 3", though as it is flattened it is hard to get an accurate measurement. It is made of the correct P-37 Khaki Canvas, and is the uses the standard strap through buckle closure for the lid. The shoulder strap is made of somewhat finer canvas.
The interior of the bag bears a faint circular maker mark, which we unfortunately are unable to read, except for the large 1941 in the center. The front of the bag has a very nice painted "Red Cross" medic emblem, and the lid is marked SHELL DRESSINGS, indicating the type of items stored in the bag. Field medics had to carry various different types of field dressings, depending on the type of wound. Lots of gauze was also definitely a requirement. Inside the bag are six original FIRST FIELD DRESSING pouches, still full, and all are 1942 dated. They look to be unissued, though one pouch is open on one end.
A lovely example of a British WWII Medic Bag complete with dressings, ready to add to your collection!
