WORLD WAR ONE US ARMY MEDICAL TRAINING PACKET:
This World War One US Army First Aid Instruction Packet,
dated May 1917, is a unique example of the training aids
used to prepare the Doughboy for the trenches in
Europe. Manufactured by Wilford Hall Laboratories, Port
Chester, New York, the paste board box is printed with a
simulated wood grain finish and measures 4.75” high,
3.75” wide and 2.5” deep. In addition to the
manufacturer’s label on the front of the box, the
reverse bears a paper label detailing the instructions
for applying the First Aid packets. The box contains two
paper wrapped bandages and a paper envelope of safety
pins. The condition of this box is very good to
excellent. The box is full form and has not been
crushed or broken. The box is divided into a top and
bottom half and was sealed by the front and back labels,
both labels now separated at the seam, but both are intact and fully legible. Whether for
your Doughboy outfit or your Medical display, this
packet will be a real conversation piece to add to your
collection. $25
