WW-2 US Jungle First-Aid Kit
A Jungle First-Aid Kit complete with supplies as might be carried into combat. Hover over picture to see notes, if that feature is still available. This was an upgrade on my other kit shown elsewhere in this photostream. The wound tablets are the hardest thing to come by when trying to build a kit like this. They can be quite expensive. Probably the second most rare item is the sealed wooden tube containing either a vile of iodine or Merthiolate. The foot powder in 1/5 ounce packages is a bit rare as well and sometimes seen without the brittle cellophane wrap.
Carlisle bandages, as shown, are plentiful, but finding them in a crisp condition and double-sleeved waxed box is harder.
The other Jungle First Aid kit I have has a similar bottle of Halazone that was sealed with a "blob" of wax. Just as easily, a separate Carlisle bandage could have been attached to the bottom of this pouch in its own pouch, and its original place could have been occupied by a Snake Bite Kit, a practical move in the jungle environment. For a jungle environment, I would expect Atabrine and perhaps Anacin or simple salt tablets in the pill bottles.
