Interesting. First thing that strikes me is..I wouldn't want to be trying to administer any of that in hurry in poor light or without a torch. The containers all look remarkably similar which could have interesting results if the wrong one is chosen.. No doubt their Medic had his own system for overcoming that problem though.

The Forced March pills are missing. ;)

Used cocaine eye drops to help with the snow blindness.
Chalk and opium for diarrhoea.

Read that the only two medicines in use from those kits these days are aspirin and morphine.

Just a thought but from the look the box there's either a lot of protective padding or room for more items?

Wheres the tincture of benzoin? (The benz) There was nothing like it for sorting out all types of cuts or blisters. Stung like a hot poker though, also good for getting zinc tape to adhere to feet. Haven't seen it in years. The faces of any Germans you were working with when you pronounced it "benzin"

Potassium permanganate for anything cheesy, and better fake tan they're was not (Especially for the nails, they would be brown for weeks)

What was that stuff that fizzed like coke when put on a cut? Only see salvon or germoline these days, have to order iodine from ebay.

I like that FAK, we've bought old ones in the past (sometimes for the container).. This is the latest, iodine has all evaporated/leaked..
