The Parachute First-Aid Packet was originally designed and used by the United States Army Air Forces. It was to be issued to every parachute wearer, and contained supplies to treat wounds after landing. In 1942 the kit was issued to Airborne troops.
The second pattern packet was constructed of light weight waterproofed canvas. It was hermetically sealed and was to be opened by tearing the material using notches located at the top and bottom end of the packet. It was attached to equipment by means of two material tapes which were stitched to the packet using a zig-zag style stitching technique. They were generally attached to the helmet or field gear.
There were several manufacturers including Yardley of London - United Kingdom, which still exists today.
This is an excellent reproduction first - aid pouch for Airborne troops and would make a great addition to your helmet.
