This Remembrance Day it's worth giving thought and thanks to combat medics.
This first article is a US one about medics in WW2 and has some pictures of medics gear which is quite interesting:

My great uncle was a front line medic in WW1 - and himself a casualty of the war, the ambulance he was in taking a direct hit from a shell whilst returning to the field hospital.
Terrible times, never to be forgotton.
100 years this year for the Unknown Warrior too, since his reburial in Westminster Abbey.
All proper heroes, the bloody lot of `em.....
....lest we forget :salute:
My great uncle died at the Somme of a shrapnel head wound .
Gone but not forgotten by his family as should they all be remembered .
Me in my truck yesterday at 11am. Poppy proudly worn. Both Grandads were in WW2. LEST WE FORGET :salute: :salute:
