David Stall of www.victorysiren.com
was kind enough to take these photos of a Civil Defense Packaged Disaster
Hospital stock still in place in Columbus Texas and send them to me on a
CD. I thought I would put together this photo album of some of the photos.
Of course it is a whole different experience seeing a stock like this first-hand
but you can get an idea of the work that must have been involved in distributing
these across the U.S. At one time there were over 1900 of these in storage
nationwide. The last of the prescription drugs were removed from the stock
along with of some other of the items that had passed their shelf life in
May, 1976. The label in the top left photo has the serial number 57/544.
That would make this a 1957 PDH. This is probably the most complete undisturbed
PDH stock I have seen photos of. Thanks David!
