Original British WWII Pattern 1942 Medic Shoulder Bag for Shell Dressings with Dressing & Extras
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a great British WWII Pattern 1937 (P-37) Medic's Shoulder Bag, which looks to have certainly seen use during the war. 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 uses the standard strap through buckle closure for the lid. The shoulder strap is made of somewhat finer canvas.
The front of the bag has a very nice painted "Red Cross" medic emblem, and the lid was originally marked SHELL DRESSINGS, indicating the type of items stored in the bag, but this marking has since been painted over. 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.
The bag contains 2 Shell Dressings dated 1938, two First Field Dressings dated 1941 and 1942, a Khaki Bandage dated 1941, and a casualty tag.
An excellent example of a British WWII Medic Bag, ready to add to your collection!
