The long lines of infantry drawn up in battle array in the background are ready to repel any further assaults while the wounded are being removed on the litters. The one in the foreground (on the left) exhibits a device to elevate the patient's limbs.

Directly behind the orderly, bearers are lifting another sufferer on a litter into the four-wheeled ambulance. |
