The title places this glass negative in Quimper, a cathedral city in Finistère on the Breton peninsula of western France, and identifies its subject as wounded men. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, so the exact circumstances remain unverified. During the First World War, many towns in Brittany took in wounded soldiers, and Bain's New York agency sent images of such scenes to American newspapers. The identification is best read as a starting point for further research rather than settled fact.
