In Response To: Re: Hospital Trains ()

I do recall there being at least one period design patent for a harness device that could carry two wounded in a sitting position (facing forward) one on each side. Also recall same or another that could carry two in same fashion laying supine. However dont recall ever finding any reference or evidence that such was actually ever employed in the field. Being severely injured then taking ones chances being strapped to the flank of a choppy trotting mule doesnt exactly fathom to be a first choice option....
