- Abstract:
- Predominantly blue poster with white and navy blue lettering. Dominant image is a man's forearm held out with gauze below his wrist. The gauze is held on by medical tape. The roll of medical tape is to the left of the arm and there is a first aid symbol on top of the roll. Tape is coming out of the roll and spells out the word "only" across the man's wrist. The words "Never for this!" appear on another roll of medical tape below the forearm pointing to pictures of a duffle bag, a baseball mit/baseball bat/baseball, and a photograph. Each of these pictures demonstrates the use of medical tape for the wrong purposes. Note below image. Logo for SAVE U.S. Army Conservation Program on bottom left-hand corner of poster.
