As far as wartime “style” stretchers here in Manitoba are concerned I’ve been buying them as I find them over the last 35 plus years adding them to my medical corps collection.
Having a stretcher jeep, a Universal carrier Mk1 and a Ford 60 CWT ambulance I knew I needed a lot of them to outfit my vehicles.
Not to mention my Medical corps displays in the basement.
I won’t get into post war stretchers, trying to keep this post short!
I decided today to have a look at them all and see how many I actually have and how many are Canadian military marked so I started pulling them out and looking carefully for markings.
I counted 8 in the basement with my displays and 11 of them outside with the vehicles.
