Original World War I era St John Ambulance Association triangular bandage instruction cloth, printed with detailed first aid application diagrams.
This is a classic training aid issued for medical / first aid instruction, showing multiple methods of bandaging including limbs, head, arm slings and emergency dressings. The cloth features clearly numbered illustrations along with “BASE / SIDE / POINT” markings and the St John Ambulance emblem, making it instantly recognisable.
These were widely used in WWI for training volunteers, orderlies and civilian first aid units, and are now highly collectible pieces of early medical and military history.
