WW2 Combat Medics

Hello MLU-ers All,

With the talk about health things in other threads of MLU, I've been thinking a lot about Combat Medics during WW2 and how I'd like to see a thread in honour of, and specifically about, them. There are posts here and there throughout the forum about them, but none specifically FOR and ABOUT them, that I know of (unless I missed that?)

I've seen movies and have read little bits of autobiographical details, but all I know is it was one hell of a job working under extreme conditions. These men were amazing ... and I know so little about what being a medic was "all about" and how they were equipped and did their jobs ...



(hmmmm ... and I whine about arthritis sometimes. How dare I? )

Karmen.
