WW11 AMERICAN FIRST-AID PACKET SECOND PATTERN PARACHUTE WW11 Reproduction Price : $19.95 Reproduction A-200 The second pattern packet was constructed of lighter weight waterproofed canvas. Unlike its predecessor, the second pattern packet was hermetically sealed and was to be opened by tearing the material using notches located at the top and bottom end of the packet. Once again the packet was to be attached to equipment by means of two material tapes which were stitched to the packet using a zig-zag style stitching technique. The idea of this second packet was that it was expendable. The package was hermetically sealed, and could only be opened by tearing, and thus once opened could not be sealed again. Kit was issued issued to airborne and glider troops as a supplement to their regular first aid kits. The original packets contained a field dressing, a tourniquet and a morphine syrette. They were tied to the helmet, uniform or equipment. Weight 46g
