Sulfanilamide (normally shortened to "sulfa"), an antibiotic Only sulfa and a limited supply of penicillin were available. Sulfa was fairly easy to produce and the Allies had plenty. There was some controversy as to whether to use the limited supply of penicillin to treat V.D., or save it for use on wounded troops. This went all the way to 10 Downing, where the green ink OK was given to use it to increase the number of soldiers available for D-day (Churchill was known for his green ink).

Sulphur powder, it cleans out the wound similar what hydrogen perioxide does to a small gash.
