A Stretcher Case

Here’s a photograph by Frank Hurley showing an injured soldier being attended to.  The tag on the soldier indicates that he’s been processed by someone with medical authority already.  Because his hand is over his eyes, and the soldier (presumably comrade) looking on has his gas mask bag strung in a ready position around his neck suggests the wounded soldier may have suffered the effects of gas in addition to the leg injury the other medical officer is working on.
