In previous conflicts, comrades picked up casualties and transported them the best they could, on blankets or greatcoats. But improvising a stretcher would likely reopen the patient\u2019s wounds because their bodies were limp and pliable. An actual stretcher kept the body rigid and could be worked by two men \u2013 under ideal conditions. However, conditions were rarely ideal and teams of four to six was preferred and not uncommon.\n1/30 scaleMatte Finish1 piece set\nFREE UK POST!\n\nWE ARE AN OFFICIAL BRITAINS;
