A wounded officer tended by Red Cross workers is the subject here, though the record gives no date and the title itself comes from unverified notes written on the negative or its caption card. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds pictures issued by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied press photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Red Cross volunteers were a familiar sight in wartime hospitals and aid stations, and pictures like this one documented their work for a public eager to see it. Because the record is thin, the exact setting and the officer's identity remain unknown.
