ABN_FO asked to show you guys these.
Here in Iraq, I have recently come upon approximately 10 battle dressings, "carlisle model", manufactured 1943 by the handy pad supply company. I have googled it and saw pictures of the exact same type I have found. Mine are in "mint" condition, with a few exceptions.



The others are in just as good shape, missing only the cellophane wrapper. On the ones missing the wrapper, the date of manufacture 1943 is clear.
