"...but the dogface's real
hero is he litter bearer and aid men who goes into
all combat situations right along with the
infantryman, shares his hardships and dangers, and
isn't able to fight back. When the infantryman is
down, the medic must get up and help him. That's
not pleasant when there's shooting. The aid men and
litter bearer know their work is often far more
important than that of the surgeon at the operating
table; because if it were not for the aid man the
casualty would not live to reach the surgeon's
table." - Bill Mauldin, Up Front
When Clara Barton and her
civilian volunteers first started tending the
wounded of the American Civil War, it was
considered a shocking breach of propriety; medicine
at that time was a grisly business, and a field
hospital (or any hospital, for that matter) was
considered no place for faint-hearted women. By
World War II this had all changed and nurses were
an essential part of the military establishment,
serving in front-line hospitals all over the
world.
These are unpainted
and unassembled metal hobby kits.
Unless otherwise noted, these kits are in the
International 54mm
Collectors Scale. Standing figurines are approx.
2-1/2" - 3" tall.
