New Members saying Hi

[Stanski]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first posting but I just wanted to say hello to all fellow collectors, especially those who collect Japanese items. I collect items to do with the Far East, so Burma and Malaya in WW2, and also Japanese Medical items. Would love to hear from anyone who has Japanese Medical items as I am trying to build up a data base of pictures and info as its not very well documented. My Grandfather was 5th Indian Division RA in Burma and Malaya, went into Singapour in 1945 with the division.

Cheers

James

Hi James,

Welcome aboard ! What type of medical items interest you ? Do you mean the uniforms & equipment etc. or badges and medals with a medical connection (of which there are very few) ?

I am sure your knowledge will be helpful to all in here.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the post, with regards medical bits I collect the equipment and medical items, the uniforms worn were your standard issue, except those in hospital where they were given gowns. I will get a photo of some of the bits and post them on here.

Regards

As requested, shown is my Japanese Medical Pannier, this was brought back from Singapour in 1946 by an Sgt who used it as his suit case. Unfortunatly he repainted the outside so covering the Red Cross Markings and the Japanese Words (any one know how to see through paint? CSI people?) but the inside is complete.

The next picture is of the 3 syringe cases I have and the one complete syringe. I will dig out the other bits in my collecting this week and post them on. I would love to see any bits that anyone else has out there.

Cheers

Welcome! I too would love to see your Japanese medical collection. I have never seen such items before.

Your medical case is a really unique collection in it's self!

[Stanski]

The big boxes would have held glass viles of Sterilized liquid, they are both marked "Army Medical Material" 1944 and 1945.

The small ones have there glass viles and are for Vit B and Iodine.

I am still looking for a true definition of a japanese medical kit, from what I have seen and researched they are a mix of "Army Medical Material" with the Star at the top and civilian manufacture, this may just be because of shortages late in the war. I have not seen any Technical Manuals that cover this area in any detail, unlike German medical items which is well covered.

Anyway I hope you like the photo and I will post some more later.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Japanese Army and one Navy bandage, I hope they are of interest.

This is a Japanese Wound tag, its made of cardboard with detachable sides and a metal ring for the cord. You do see fakes of these made of very thin paper, non detachable sides and a basic hole punch at the top.

Hope this is of interest. I do also have a full translation of it if anyone is interested.

Hi All,

Here is a picture of some Medical Tape that I have in my collection. I would like to ask that if anyone has any material about Japanese Medical items from TM's of pictures etc then please let me know as I would like a copy.

Many thanks and I hope you are liking the photos.

James,

Welcome to the Forum. I as well must confess that I have just a few Japanese Militaria items none of which are related to the medical units. I've got the basics covered right now. I've got a Nambu pistol, Arisaka T-38 Carbine, T-30 Bayonet and last but not least a Rayed Army Flag. Slowly but surely the collection will grow.

Regards,

Joel
