noworky Posted April 3, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2011 Which First Aid dressing would have been carried prior to 1942? Red tin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival Posted April 4, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2011 I believe they starting adding the sulfa at the end of 1941. If you wanted to play it safe as far as authenticity probably use a green carlisle bandage in the brass container that is not stamped as containing sulfa. I assume the red ones and the green containers stamped as containing the sulfa could have been available very late 1941. Not exactly sure of the exact date....

craig_pickrall Posted April 5, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2011 The first dated box of dressings I have is 1943. They are a flat OD color and they have sulfa. I have the red cases with sulfa. You need the earlier shiny OD green case with no sulfa markings. This is a box of dressings without sulfa. Not dated on the box or the metal case.

Fausto Posted April 5, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 5, 2011 Hello Guys ! Late on this topic and wondering if some expert about first aid containers can help to put some order in my great confusion. My question is simple: can you trace the evolution of the bandage cases (not pouches) from the end of WWI to the end of WWII ? The red tin cases come earlier than the O.D. ones? They come together? Why we have old red tins with sulfa and late O.D. without sulfa? And, last, were the waxed tan cardboard boxes the last to be issued at the end of the WWII ? I have some red tins, some O.D., and some cardboard but they (unlikely the WWI ones) are all undated. Thanks for your help ! Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artu44 Posted April 5, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 5, 2011 That link doesn't mention the very first Carlisle issued, the 1922 contract. I have a couple of them but none in good conditions. In the pic you can see it was used in the M1910 pouch (two snap prints on the front) and in the M1924 pouch (one single center snap print on the back side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only seen one of those and it was an open tin/no contents. :thumbsup: Pep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evets Posted February 22, 2015 Share #10 Posted February 22, 2015 That med dept. article isn't totally correct (I believe) regarding early dressings; gas attack worries in 1906?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
