Abstract:
Black and white print reproduction of a 1944 painting by artist Manuel Tolegian depicting a duo of Army nurses administering oxygen to a patient. [caption on verso:] Abbott collection of medical department art. Combat team--the Army Medical Department's fight to keep wounded American soldiers alive begins right on the firing line a few minutes after a man has been hit, and it continues without interruption through the various stages of evacuation to the general hospital. Artist Tolegian found this combat team of Army nurses being trained at Camp White, Oregon. While one administers oxygen to the patient, the other keeps close tabs on the oxygen tank gauge.
