Capt Bill Gaumer
In ROTC (1960's), the detachment kept a plentiful supply of G.I. Gin (terpin hydrate, codeine, and 42% alcohol)behind the counter in the office area. It got a lot of cadets through the frequent winter colds in Ohio. No Doctors or visits to the campus clinic. Just ask the SGT behind the counter. It worked!

GI gin is nick name we gave Turpin Hydrate Elixir with codeine. Gave it to us at the dispensary for chronic cough. Guess that makes me an "Old Timer"

It was a good pain medicine for handling pain so you could get moving again.... It was the Grunt version of Turpenhydrate and Codine...

Alcohol + Codeine.
The modern "Sizzurp" (Promethazine w/Codeine syrup) would be a close parallel.
