Abstract:
Two Red Cross nurses help two injured officers on the road. One nurse is standing up is bandaging an officer's foot while the other nurse is kneeling down to get more bandages for her from a first aid box. Another officer is sitting next to the nurses with a tent behind him. On the left side, an antique Fiat automobile is on the side of the road passing by with 2 officers in it. This automobile probably acts as a mobile health unit providing ambulatory care to soldiers in need.
