Product Description
This Original 1943 Australian First Field Dressing, produced by Johnson & Johnson, Sydney, is an authentic World War II medical issue supplied to the Australian Army. The dressing is contained in a light khaki or beige cotton wrapper, clearly printed with maker’s details, date of manufacture (1943), and usage instructions. Inside are two sterilised dressings, sealed in waxed paper to ensure sterility and water resistance in tropical or battlefield conditions.
Designed for use by individual soldiers, this type of first field dressing was carried in pouches or uniform pockets and applied immediately to wounds to prevent infection until medical personnel could take over. Its practical design and clear wartime markings reflect Australia’s growing wartime production capabilities and medical self-sufficiency during the 1940s.
A genuine and increasingly scarce example of Australian WWII medical equipment, this dressing is ideal for collectors, museum displays, or enthusiasts of ANZAC and Pacific campaign militaria.
