What was Wimbledon in world war 1 and 2?

During World War I and II, Wimbledon, primarily known for its tennis tournament, served as a site for military activities and support. In WWI, the All England Club was repurposed as a military hospital, treating injured soldiers. Similarly, during WWII, the club's facilities were used for wartime purposes, including hosting air raid shelters. The iconic tournament was suspended during both conflicts, reflecting the broader impact of the wars on sports and society.
