Goofs

Reggie Soper is addressed as 'sergeant' throughout the series, but wears the rank of a staff sergeant (three stripes and a crown, as opposed to the three stripes only of a sergeant) and should therefore be addressed (given that he is is the Royal Army Medical Corps) as 'staff'. Though, as he is in charge of the quartermaster stores, he would usually be addressed as 'Q'.

Why I love The Crimson Field.

The Crimson Field has been such a beautiful series, at times reducing me to tears, all the actors have done a brilliant job in bringing the story alive. I really hope that there is another series or 3! I feel there is so much more for all the characters to tell. We have had a glimpse into what it would have been like 100 yrs ago, the V A D's , nurses and surgeons worked wonders in such difficult conditions. All the actors deserve credit, I wan't to hear all their stories, and the fizzing will they /won't they romance between Tom and Kitty has kept us on tender hooks! The writers have done a wonderful job, Sarah Phelps has real talent in making us believe anything that she writes.
