from the WW2 Medical Research Center,
"...
the
M-2
version of the
Jungle Kit
replaced the
M-1 type
which was found to be rather unpractical, mostly out of reach, and too large. The present Kit was introduced in
1944,
and proved an immediate success with the troops (both Army and Marines would use it); the Case hooked into the eyelets of either the Pistol or Cartridge Belts, was within easy reach of the wearer, and could be opened or closed by two press studs;
contents were sometimes modified by the owner, depending on his personal taste and/or foresight.
The
M-2
Individual Medical Jungle Kit was only manufactured in olive-drab canvas; it was supplied to each soldier fighting in jungle areas…
"
It was carried by all
MARINES and Ground Troops in the Pacific Theater
by the end of the war! These were issued both with Contents and without Contents -- and filled and re-filled with contents at the unit level. Surviving examples show a tremendous variety of items. The additional two
Eyelets
on the bottom of the Case facilated the suspension of a
M1923
or
M1942 First Aid Packet Carrier.
