How about a WWI British Hospital? (1 Viewer)

With the great success of the WWII German Hospital series how about a series for WWI featuring British or Commonwealth figures?

These would go well with the new WWI releases that include a Highland Stretcher Bearer and several wounded.

The British Nurses were quite a colorful lot:

I echo your sentiments Randy. A WW1 hospital and figures would be a great addition to my collection. The WW2 one was so well done; I can only imagine how awesome a K&C WW1 version would be!!

The "hospital" could be a Casualty Clearing Station which consisted of tents or temporary buildings as seen below:

4. Casualty Clearing Station (Surgeons & Nurses)
5. Ambulance

7. Ambulance
8. Hospital in France or UK

Thanks Mark, Robin, Wayne and John.
I am surprised that there does not seem to be more interest in this.
I guess WWII Germans rather than the medical subject matter account for the popularity of those medical items. It is a shame since the British medical services played a prominent role in the war.
If you are interested in this subject check out Emily Mayhew's recent book Wounded.
