UC First Aid Tins
For some reason Carriers were not issued with First Aid Tins despite their being allocated to Armoured Units. Within the Carrier Section there would be one of the guys volunteered as being the medic and he would have a medical kit! Usually a First Aid Dressings bag, but anything that could carry bandages etc was used.
A small first aid tin marked as above could be the Dingo tin, they had them in a container on the outside of the armour! Fat lot of good that was when you skin your knuckles or knee caps when driving and need a plaster!!!
