Picture No 10823378
Date 1916
Description The R.A.M.C in No Man's Land by Matania, WW1
Details

A party of men from the Royal Army Medical Corps bringing in the wounded from No Man's Land after an action on the Western Front. Crawling along on their bellies, the men have to keep close to the ground and haul the injured back to the British lines over broken and shell pitted ground to avoid enemy fire. Any slight depression in the ground offers some temporary shelter. In the case of this picture, the wounded belong to a wiring party and so there is the added difficulty of the disorderly coils of wire to be overcome by the men of the Medical Corps. In many cases, the work of rescuing the wounded could only be done at night.
