wally dugan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 it is my understanding that the first aid kit was contained in a canvas satchel marked with the white circle and red cross so it could be removed and carried as to were it was mounted would be down to the crew some where it could found quickly with out to much trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_bish Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So like (or actually) the shell dressing bag? http://josephs-militaria-and-homefront-collection.co.uk/p37shell.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 yes they came in different styles we had several types in the museum archives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Is it on the CES List for 15cwt trucks, if not probably never carrier one. Every soldier carried a dressing so probably not required. There were small and large First Aid Tins normally associated with AFV's but may have been carried on Trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoseman Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 yes they came in different styles we had several types in the museum archives The Dressings Bag are easy to find and contained just that, dressings. (Maybe some safety pins ,tape and gauze. It's the First Aid bag that's hardest to find. This has purpose pockets inside for scissors, equipment etc. I've been looking for one for ages and when they do pop up you need to sell a kidney to buy it!!! I would be interested in a source of any as I need a few at the right price to finish my medics display. I have lists of all contents if needed, they were marked with different letters to denote their contents, A ,B ,C etc Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinN Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I should know this but what does CES stand for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 you will find that a CES from this time catered for the needs of the vehicle and not the crew the fact that it is not on the CES does not mean it could not have been on the vehicle there is a picture some were of a medical satchell fitted to the wing of a jeep wonder if that was on a CES THE SOLDIERS knack of fitting and carrying items that they were not issued with is universal l have a picture of a DROPS in the first GULF WAR with a green plastic garden chair been transported on the cab roof what l am pointing out is its your vehicle if you think you need it have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
