Thanks Peter,

Once more I must appeal to the knowledgable members of this forum to help me out. Can anyone inform me of the Army Hospital Corps uniforms? I seem to recall it being blue for some reason and having ...

Ah yes I noticed this in the viewing schedules just this morning. No doubt i'll tune in to watch it, despite owning it on DVD and Video anyway.
