As the conflict raged on and the battlefront expanded from Europe to the Middle East, the demand for medical support surged, necessitating the rapid establishment of extensive medical facilities to care for the increasing number of wounded, sick, and maimed soldiers needing urgent attention. The British and Allied forces swiftly commandeered buildings and repurposed them to create thousands of hospital beds, yet these resources were often overwhelmed, especially following the initial landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula in April 1915, when 16,000 wounded were received in just ten days.
