British Medic Equipment.

I am putting a uniform together and i was wondering what kind of equipment the British medics had during the war, i haven't found any information or pictures about it, so i just thought i should ask here.

 

Parachute medic equipment:
16 PARACHUTE FIELD AMBULANCE | WW2 PERSONAL LOADS
16 PARACHUTE FIELD AMBULANCE | MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
(I see the photographs have been provided by a gent that may be familiar to some here. A reliable source.)

You need to search for 'RAMC' (Royal Army Medical Corps). Quite a bit of stuff out there.

Good luck,

Thanks again Von Poop!

 

Thats an excellent link there for the airborne medic equipment.
Thanks.

The bag was called Unit 3 i think (atleast by the yanks)

You should get all the necessary information from the Army Medical Services Museum.
I have enclosed the address. They will also have copies of all the field training manuals etc from WW2 + RAMC Field Packs + Field Ambulance Equipment (MASH units to the Americans)
AMS Museum
Hope this helps ...incidentally this is my first posting.

would anybody know what that white netting on the side of his bag would be for?

 

It looks like something he did, as a supporting rack, cage..

 

hi, does anyone know were i can find a ww2 stretcher?

 

does anyone know about or the names or places of aid stations in Arnhem?

 

The netting is actually 2 wire ladder splints. They were bendable into various positions to allow splinting of multiple types of fractures. They are still being used but slowly being replaced by a malleable splint such as the SAM splint.
