A Lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps tends to a wounded soldier on a hospital train at Lison train station. The wartime censor has scratched out the face of one the wounded but oddly not the other.
These wounded come from a hospital near Lison that opened on the 28th of July and had a 400 bed capacity spread over 340 tents.
They were then transported on trains like this to the 56th General Hospital near Cherbourg where they stayed or evacuated onto England. The Lison hospital remained open until the 23rd of October, when it became a POW camp.
