Item Description
Original Items: Only One Grouping Available. Now this is a lovely grouping of items that would have been used in conjunction with life saving techniques for the wounded. The items consist of a lovely Experimental Cavalry Rations Bag, instrument roll, bandages and Saline Infusion Apparatus. They are all in wonderful, field used condition.
The M1912 Ration Bags were part of the failed experimental Model 1912 Cavalry Web Gear. The kit consisted of two bags that were used to carry rations and tools pertaining to the soldier and horse itself. The two bags lace together and can actually be worn on the back with the spring clips attached to the pistol belt. While these bags served to be rather impractical for the cavalry, they found a new home amongst the medical community.
These bags were recycled into use among the Corpsmen and Medics to be used for carrying extra medical supplies. The M1910 haversack was deemed unsuitable by the medics and they needed something that they could access quickly, these were the best option at the time, more than likely saving more lives due to the easier access. The bag itself is in great condition with staining and signs of field use.
Other items include an incomplete roll of “CASE, FORCEPS, HAEMOSTATIC” that is dated 1917. Other items include unopened bandages one of which is a Carlisle Bandage. Lastly is the “HORROCKS SALINE INFUSION APPARATUS” with a glass intravenous drip chamber that is unbroken!
A lovely assortment of items ready for further research and display.
