svt40 Posted August 16, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2020 I'm sure someone will come along and correct me but I always thought these were diagnostics tag pouches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorwichCadet Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted August 16, 2020 You are correct- US WWI MODEL 1910 DIAGNOSTIC TAG BOOKLET POUCH . Similar in style to the Model 1910 First Aid Packet Pouch, but larger , 6 1/8"x 3 3/4". These were issued with the Officers and Enlisted mens Medical Belts for carrying triage tags used to identify the needs of the wounded soldiers.
