We just had this come in, neat 1917 dated cavalry bags, but I am not sure of the era of the medical markings?

Anyone know when "evac" came into the military parlance?

Thanks!

Jerry

Evacuation Ambulance Company 8 was a well documented unit in WWI. A book has been written about it: Evacuation Ambulance Company 8 in World War One by A. Gustaf Bryngelson. Another book, United States Lawn Tennis Association and the World War, devotes chapter IX to the Evac Amb Co 8. (The book is available as a Google book online).
