    Description

    The wounded have sacrificed much for their cause.

    A military hospital improves the replenishment rate for understrength units. Wounded men who are treated properly and promptly can often be returned to duty.

    Many European military hospitals, particularly those set up on campaign, were extremely badly run. During the Crimean War in the mid-1850s, for example, disease killed more British soldiers than the Russians, and anyone wounded in action faced a terrible, possibly fatal, time in hospital. This is what prompted Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole to improve medical care. During the American Civil War, field hospitals were often set up in stables as conveniently large buildings to shelter the wounded from the worst of the weather, but thanks to copious amounts of horse dung, not necessarily the best place to recover. Permanent hospitals were often better, but they were often far from the front, and could only care for survivors who lived through their immediate post-battle care.
