Parachute First Aid Packet:
Kit issued to airborne and glider troops as a supplement to their regular first aid kits. The original packets contained a field dressing, a tourniquet and a morphine syrette. They were tied to the helmet, uniform or equipment. Our repros look and feel exactly like the real thing. They are made from khaki cotton duck fabric with color matched twill tape ties. (These are professionally dyed at a plant, not in a tub in the kitchen.) They contain WWII field dressings (most are British, but they are WWII dated) and a web strap similar to a tourniquet. (Sorry, no stupid yuck-yuck comments about a dose of morphine. That should be a no-brainer.) Other repros are stuffed with cotton balls, cardboard scraps or tampons. So if you get an "ouchie" and have a gusher, you can rip these open and find a bandage instead of a tampax.
Each $25.00
