On the morning of Thursday 21 January Sergeant Parsons RAMC delivered two presentations to members of 33 Field Hospital RAMC at Fort Blockhouse.
The visitors to Sergeant Parsons Regimental Aid Post (RAP) were treated to the procedures and treatments of casualties in 1916 as well as explanations of the doctrine and training which the Royal Army Medical Corps Medical Orderlies undertook pre WW1.
After a break, the visitors to Sergeant Parsons RAP were treated to a full display of equipment issued to and worn by a typical Infantry Soldier on 01 July 1916 (the first day of the Battle of the Somme). All equipment and uniform were modeled by an incredibly willing volunteer from the audience.
Sergeant Parsons’s visit to Gosport was planned and booked in order to act as a launch pad for 33 Field Hospital’s battlefield study of the Somme.
