KizmeRD Posted 9 February Share Posted 9 February (edited) I’m no medical expert but may I suggest that It might possibly stand for ‘Anti-toxin Serum’ - an injection against tetanus being given to the injured man (1500 IU).

TEW Posted 9 February Share Posted 9 February I've always thought it was 'Anti Tetanus Serum'. Given as a matter of course to all wounded. Normally seen as 500 units. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
