Casualties Union


Casualties Union, is a British registered charity that was founded on 22 November 1942 by Eric Claxton OBE who later received an OBE for his services to civil defence.
The services of the charity were born out from the need to provide realistic training for the rescue personnel of local authorities in the rescue, assessment and treatment of casualties in the 1940s. In 2010, its members contributed 27,953 hours, providing their services as trained make-up artists and actors in casualty simulation.
