Písmena

On Saturday, September 18, we attended the "Písmena" event hosted by Army Muzeum Zdice. We had the pleasure to be part of the WWII U.S. camp together with KVH Tommy & Yankee z.s. Plzeň and KVH 612th Tank Destroyer Battalion z.s. Plzeň. Our display referred to the Northern France Campaign of 1944. In the tent we prepared a small exhibition showing the nurses' quarters. On a mannequin you could see a uniform and equipment used by American nurses during the Normandy landings. In front of the tent we put up a flysheet under which one could see original medical supplies. During the day we were able to make quite a few replicas of bandages and surgical sponges that we will use in the future. "Písmena" was our last public event in the Czech Republic this year. See you soon!
