Description
This is a 1941 Japanese Civil Defense first aid and rescue manual, titled Keibodan Kyugo Shido Yoryo, published by the Greater Japan Air Defense Association.
It was issued in September 1941, only a few months before the Pacific War began.
The manual was intended for members of Japan’s wartime civil defense organization responsible for emergency aid and casualty rescue. It includes instructions on:
* First aid and rescue duties
* Treatment of wounds, fractures, burns, and shock
* Emergency equipment
* Methods for carrying and transporting injured people
* Illustrated casualty-handling techniques
The illustrated pages are especially interesting, showing practical methods for moving wounded or unconscious persons with two rescuers.
This book offers a clear look at how Japan was preparing its civilian population for air raids and emergency casualties before large-scale bombing of the Japanese home islands became a reality.
An interesting original reference for collectors of WWII Japanese militaria, civil defense, air raid history, and wartime medical material.
The book shows age-related wear, staining, discoloration, and binding wear. Please check the photos carefully for condition.
