BBC One - The Crimson Field, Episode 2

A large convoy of wounded men brings challenges for the hospital staff.

The atrocities of war are brought to the hospital's doorstep, and for the first time the girls witness the horror for themselves. Will they be able to rise to the challenge?

The volunteers settle into life at the hospital but Kitty keeps herself at a distance and its clear to Grace that something is deeply troubling her. Despite this, Kitty throws herself into her work, helping new patients Major Crecy and Private Byeford. Crecy awakens from the brink of death but still badly wounded to find his troops have been decimated. As the world closes in around him he clings to his friendship with Byeford, but when his wife Adelinde visits he finds himself torn between the old life back home and a new one with his men. 

Meanwhile, the hospital readies for a convoy of new patients. With resources stretched, Joan views it as a chance for the volunteers' skills to be put to good use but Margaret does not think they are ready. Will the girls live up to Joan's expectations?
