Last Saturday night, I finally won myself an airborne medical pouch... Spotted in on eBay with only a few hours to go... :w00t:

 

Will get this one in the mail asap, but already wanted to share this one with you.

My 82nd AB friend (508er) never had one. Jumped in Holland and continued through til the end.... All he had was his pockets, a .45 and an armband.

Armed medic? :o

 

You bet! He tossed away his M1A1 carbine upon landing in Holland (dirt went up the barrel). But he kept his .45. The CO advised too many medics were targets in Normandy and wanted his medics armed....

 

That what he told me.

 

Cullings was eventually nominated for the MOH.

Great, surely unusual, story!
