WWI Equipment
E-4949  Unbelievably RARE!! 1914 American Volunteer Ambulance Driver Medics Bag. I had a cap in my collection which we sold earlier this year for Dr. Mather Cleveland who was a Medical Student at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. The ID is shown in the last photo. We just acquired this bag. I noticed it said Cleveland on the reverse of the note. The location listed on the front of the tag stated that it was for "Ambulance Harjes", the use of "ambulance" in this case referring to hospital, which in French can be used interchangeably. The location listed is Montdidier and the date 1914. This was where Dr. Cleveland was when serving at the "Valle de Grace Hospital" used as the Harjes Hospital between Sept 1914 and January of 1915. This bag was definitely used by him. Bag appears to be unused and contains the full compliment of bandages, splints and tourniquets. An unbelievable find from one of the earliest Volunteer items we have ever seen. Dr. Cleveland is the second from the left in the photo shown.  $1595

"Section Sanitaire Automobile Anglais" , also abbreviated "SSA". Due to this fact the Americans were rebranded as "Section Sanitaire Etas Unis" or "SSU".
