HMC – USN So it says on my dads nameplate. One of the things from his trunk of treasures.

I opened another old box full of some WWII medical items. The head dressing box has a Date of June 30, 1943 on it.

It looks like a tool or two could be missing from MD pocket case. I’ll have to search the rest of the trunk to see if I can find the complete set.

I remember my mother telling me he performed surgeries on the ship that they weren’t trained for.
