The first Rel Gross train that ar
rived at Waterloo carried officers.
First of all, those who were able to
walk were assisted tc alight. What
ever their pain. they disguised it by
sinking. and several were smoking.
Some had their heads enveIopel in
bandages; Others wore slings. Many
walked with a limp, AMI several
placed their arms around the necks
of R. "A. NJ. C. men. AMI were assist
ed to vehicles
One man walked with the aid OF a
crutch. Another had been hurt on
the jaw, but he was smoking a pipe
with great relish. Here and there
tunics were torn. In some cases they
had been ripped open down the arms
or on the shoulders to permit the
surgeons to ATTEND the wounds With
expedition the officers whose injuries
were not severe were placed in taxi
cabs, motor cars and private omni-
buses.
That the stretcher brigade turned
| its attention to the officers who re-
mained in the wards OF the train.
PILLOWS AMI blankets were placed on
the stretchers, and a procession filed
UP the platform and entered the
train. The first officer brought out
was reading a newspaper and smok-
ing a cigarette. The next man, too,
was smoking His injury was in the
leg. "A third had his knees drawn
up. ALL except one were looking
CHEEKY. Ambulance surgeons, wag-
i ons and buses were waiting, and one
by one the wounded were placed on
beds and driven to the hospital.
The r. "A. N. C. and the ambulance
corps were still engaged in tending
the injured officers when second
train, plastered with red crosses, ran
in ait the adjoining platform. Soon
the soldiers were f1ocking out OF the
carriages. The first group to walk
to the cars mostly wore sings. There
were fbandaged heads, arms and
shoulders. but the soldiers them
selves were in the best of spirits and
jumped into the buses with the frisk-
.ness OF sohoolboys. Some of the
wounded, however, were more ser
iously injured. One man lay on q
! stretcher, which was allowed to res
on the ground for some time, and g
doctor examined him and felt his
pulse. Others, too weak to move
much, were lifted from stretchers
into vans, where they were made
comfortable On mattresses AMI blank

heads. As a party of the wounded
were being driven through Moor
