The “Then and now” military medicine display which saw the launch of PPP’s newest character: Sergeant Parsons Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), was linked through a trauma time tunnel to the 21st century equivalent medical facility to that of 1914. This was provided and manned by 208 Field Hospital.
