We were first shown a general

kit bag and personal belongings and
any money or other articles of value
are tied up in a neat canvas bag
and deposited in a rack until he
needs them i'm the wards. or is ready
to he sent on from the hospital.
Then a hasty look-over from the
surgeon sends him into one of the
other two sales de triage-that of

In the petits blesses division there
is a dressing room with junior sur

and replaced if necessary. Then. if
the wounds are quite light, the
