WWII US Army M2 Jungle First Aid Kit Pouch

This medic bag made in USA by AVERY dated to 1943 and reused by the Israeli army medical corps in the 1950's. This bag includes it content dressing bandages, WW2 era.

1942, the Medical Department was asked to develop a first aid kit for use by troops in jungle areas. One was soon added to the medical supply catalog in the form of a cotton roll-up with two rows of separate slots for contents packaged in bottles, cans and boxes, secured by tie straps (similar to a mechanic's tool roll -- photo above). This form was in use by the Army and Marine Corps from late 1942 until it was superseded in 1944. The first pattern nomenclature was Kit, First Aid, Jungle, Individual, M1 with Medical Department Item No. 97107.
