Inserted into the booklet is Bradley's own ''Chemical Warfare Pocket Reference Card'' which lists the names of various chemicals used as weapons, their odor, properties, symptoms on the human body, treatment and decontaminating agents. Booklet measures 3.75'' x 5.75'' and card measures 5.5'' x 4''. One detached page from booklet, otherwise very good condition with neat, legible handwriting.
