| Description | Two men having their wounds treated. They are lying on stretchers propped up with wooden legs. The man on the left is having his left foot dressed by two men; his right leg is already bandaged-up. Three men attend to the wounded man on the right. This is most probably a dressing station. It has been set up in a large abandoned building, with stones walls and a dirt floor. Directly behind them, there is a large door with a steel helmet, overcoat and hat hanging up. ANZAC is an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps]. Dressing stations were set up close to the fighting to treat wounded soldiers. Those taken to a dressing station were either bandaged-up and sent back to fight or, if their condition was serious enough, sent on to a hospital or casualty clearing station for further treatment. [Original reads: 'Dressing wounds of an Anzac man.'] |
