WWII Imperial Japanese Army Veterinary Nursing Manual 1943 Horses Mules Rare

  
This is an original 1943 manual from the Imperial Japanese Army Veterinary School, titled Military Animal Nursing. It covers in detail the nursing and medical treatment of horses and mules, which were essential for logistics and transportation during WWII. These animals were true "silent warriors, " supporting soldiers by carrying supplies, ammunition, and the wounded across rough terrain where trucks could not go. This book is the revised version published in June 1943 (Showa 18), likely the final edition before the end of the war. It contains many handwritten notes and supplements by its original owner, offering a unique glimpse into the mindset and training of Japanese Army veterinary officers at the front. Each page is filled with the practical know-how and challenges of wartime animal care-a rare surviving piece of military medical history. Such field manuals were not mass-produced for civilians and were usually discarded after the war, making them highly collectible.

For historians, militaria collectors, or anyone interested in WWII logistics and medical support, this book is a remarkable window into the realities of Japan's wartime operations. Own a Piece of History. International Buyers - Please Note.
