Hospital Blue Neckties

[Ypres1915]

I recall at some point seeing a cigarette card with a description of the ties worn with the hospital blue uniform. In the description they described two colours; a red and a blue version. Does anyone have information about this card or have a copy they could post the front and reverse of?

Many thanks

Are you positive?  All the descriptions, photos and media images, including postcards, and even contemporary oil paintings show the suit as blue and the tie as red, worn with a white shirt.  See:

Thank you TullochArd, I was looking for that artefact and that image earlier, but could not find it.
