The title *American Wounded* is the only identifying detail in this glass negative's record, and it comes from unverified notes the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card. Bain was a New York news photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so its images were made to be reproduced quickly. With no date recorded, the exact moment and location cannot be confirmed, though the subject suggests the wartime years that drew much of the agency's attention. The glass plate itself is worth noticing, since it reflects the negative photography of that era.
