That being the case the map was not very useful for traditional military land navigation. There are no gridlines and much of the smaller print is difficult if not impossible to read even under a magnifying glass due to its large scale as well being printed on the porous surface of fabric instead of the smooth surface of paper.  Rather it was used primarily to determine a person's general geographic location so they could plan a route to \"neutral\" counties like Switzerland and Spain and be smuggled back to England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach map is approximately 58.5cmx60cm same as my original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIALS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe soft cotton\/silk fabric makes for a comfortable scarf as seen in many original photographs which helped prevent chafing on the wearers neck from the abrasive wool collar of the wearer's service shirt.

that so many members of the 502nd PIR (the first regiment assigned to the 101st) who had this type patch on their uniforms.  This patch can be seen in all regiments of the 101st but is most common

Rather than filling the pouch with \"real\" first aid contents (which would have increased the cost of the kit significantly) we did the next best thing.  We took an original bandage, an original torniquet, sulfanilamide packet, instruction sheet and a morphine syrette box bundled them all together, wrapped them in a protective coating, and cast them in silicone rubber. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there we could recreate the exact size and shape of the pouch contents in a dense material that won't deteriorate and crumble inside your pouch even after years or intense use.  We also chose a material that is not 100% rigid.  We did this because the 90 degree angles on part of the casting would create sharp edges that could eventually cut holes in the pouch and in the end of the day we want to make products that our customers only have to buy once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parachutist first aid kit was originally designed for pilots and aircrew but were quickly issued to paratroopers and can be seen being used by them as early as Operation Torch (1942) and were used throughout the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**** NOTE as of 2-2-26 we have decided to stop \"dirt aging\" our repo fabric first aid kits. This was an extra step that prevents us from restocking these pouches in a timely manor and is something anyone can do.  We highly recommend rubbing a bit of dirt on these pouches because these first aid kits were commonly being issued in \"used\" condition.  Because these pouches contained morphine (which was a closely regulated substance do to its addictive properties) these pouches were supposed to be collected from each paratrooper and aircrew member whom they were issued to after they returned from the combat area.  Then when the unit was being deployed on another combat mission
