It was the thought of the dressings of the period (era) ........rather primitive I would have thought.

Only the outer wrapping and the material changed of British Army issue Shell Dressings....Nothing else did until last year...And old stocks are still being used

So they use last century's left overs

You wouldn't believe what came out of the stores before we went to Iraq...

Pillows dated 1942, shell dressing bags of 1941, canvas buckets, Millbank Bags, all sorts...And all WW2.... Didnt find any WW1 dated stuff though...Mind you...My collection grew quite well at that point!!!

This was for a front line regular medical unit

And who says we didnt go prepared with all the right kit into Iraq...??

I found this amazing thread by accident and was so touched by Genjen's act of human kindness and thought it should be shared with those who missed it the first time around.
A fitting tribute to a few of the many men who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
Great work Genjen.
