US WW2 First-Aids of the Medical Department: Kits & Men (Part 1 & 2)
At the start of the conflict in Europe in 1939, which was to drag the whole world into the war, the USA was unprepared and maintained a certain neutrality to allow it to prepare for war. The first First-Aid kits used by the US Army were supplied by the civilian market. The reorganization of the MEDICAL DEPARTMENT in 1941 enabled the Medical Department Equipment Laboratory at Carlisle Barracks in Pennsylvania to develop several First-Aid kits for the US Army. They appeared in the first US Army Medical Department catalog of 1941.
With over 28 models in 1942, these First-Aid kits enabled every soldier to have access to first-aid treatment, thanks to individual First-Aid kits carried directly with their equipment, as well as collective First-Aid kits available in vehicles, aircraft, tanks, etc., if medical needs required more specialized kits. The provision of these First-Aid kits was complemented by the formidable action of the “COMBAT MEDICS”, these nurses and doctors trained to provide first aid and care on a battlefield, bringing in the wounded, giving them treatment in aid stations and mobile hospitals, stabilizing them and moving them to general hospitals in the rear.
With almost 1,000 referenced photos of medical equipment used in First-Aid kits and Combat Medics' equipment, this book presents the first level of medical care for wounded soldiers in the field. A true reference tool, this book will also help you create or complete your collection, as well as define the interest and rarity of the items you own.

Opener, Can, P38, US Army
P38 can opener. Introduced in 1942, it was carried by thousands of GIs throughout the Second World War. This tiny, lightweight, P-38 collapsible can opener was developed during World War II, reported to have been a rapid 30 days design project in the summer of 1942 by the U.S. Army Subsistence Research Laboratory in Chicago, IL. The origin of the name is not clear, like the jeep. Some claim it required exactly 38 punctures around a can to open it. Others say it performed with the speed of a P-38 fighter plane. Whatever the case, it is clear this little device has to be considered one of the most perfect inventions ever designed for use in combat.

With more than 28 models in 1942, these first-aid kits were either directly worn on each soldier webbing for individual emergency care or with larger kits installed in vehicles, planes, armored vehicles... for collective emergency care. The use of these first-aid kits was the starting point for outstanding actions of the "Combat Medics. These nurses and doctors were trained to provide emergency care on the battlefield, to bring back the wounded, to treat injuries in aid-stations and mobile hospitals, to stabilize the wounded soldiers and move them to general or evacuation hospitals in the rear of combat zone. This book shows nearly 1000 referenced photos of first-aid related medical equipments.
