BBA103 - Standing Medic

Wherever any American, GI fought he could be sure a Medic would be close by.
The emphasis placed on rapid battle field medical care and attention as well as the ready availability of modern medicines such as penicillin and sulphonamides, dramatically reduced the rate of death among wounded soldiers to less than 5 per cent... half of the WW1 rate!
Our hard-working Medic, usually nicknamed 'Doc', enjoys a well-earned 'smoke' before joining the rest of his platoon as they prepare for the next enemy assault. Please note medics were usually unarmed in the European theatre of war.
