Ground & Aerial Identification

Medics from the 326th Airborne Medical Company during the Holland campaign in WWII were provided a German Wanderer motorcycle, courtesy of the Dutch people to navigate around the town of Eindhoven.

Identification to both ground and aerial allied troops was essential while moving around with looted transportation. Besides the yellow recognition scarf worn around the neck, the medic had a salvaged piece of cargo canopy in Holland’s country color of orange depicting friend from foe.

The affiliation with the medical company is depicted by the medical cross worn on the helmet and arm sleeve.
