Description
Any WW2 reproduction of a US Medic’s Armband can look almost too new. However, this batch has an off-white backing which makes the product look like it has seen the frontlines! The band comes with adjustable sizing and two safety pins which means it will fit you no matter what. One of the most recognisable symbols of all, the red cross, is sewn, centred and prominent on this armband.
The Combat Medic (more affectionately known as 'Doc' by the men in the field) are one of the many unsung heroes throughout all conflicts, least of all the Second World War.
Medics would live with the front-line Infantrymen, living in foxholes alongside their friends and comrades, enduring horrible weather and combat situations (more often than not unarmed). Medics were those who were to administer First Aid to the soldiers who had been wounded on the battlefield, or who had become ill or needed treatment before being moved back from the line. Many soldiers say that the presence of a 'Doc' was enough to make you feel at ease, and Medics, by right, were well respected by those they fought alongside, and still are to this day.
The Red Cross armband was worn by Combat Medics, whether in the field alongside the soldiers, stretcher-bearers, Ambulance Drivers etc.
These are a must-have for anyone looking for an accurate WW2 Medic portrayal.
