Summary[edit]

Description

The Birmingham City Centre Floral Trail 2014.

As seen from Centenary Square.

The 'City of Birmingham' hospital train as seen outside the Library of Birmingham.

Throughout WW1, railway companies converted existing stock into sophisticated travelling hospitals. The 'City of Birmingham' was one of such ambulance trains used for the repatriation of wounded soldiers. In Birmingham, hospital trains would transport the wounded to large military hospitals, such as the 1st Southern General Hospital based at The University of Birmingham, that were developed to treat the flood of casualties coming back to England.
