Sudan War British Medics (1 Viewer)

I am hoping John will do some medics for the Sudan, especially since he now has some wounded Highlanders. A stretcher party, surgeon, nurses and field hospital tent would make a great little vignette. Here is a period photo of one of them.

This staff sergeant of an unidentified regiment appears to be wearing the grey serge uniform issued to British troops during Woseley's Nile Campaign also known as the Gordon Relief Expedition of 1884-5. He also wears a medic's badge on his sleeve.
