The 1st Southern General Military Hospital, Bournbrook, was based at the University of Birmingham. Many of the university facilities were converted for taking care of patients during the First World War. As well as some hospitals putting on sporting events as entertainment for patients, some created activities for patients to participate in themselves.
This photograph taken around 1916 shows First World War patients attempting to eat buns suspended from a wooden structure.
