Taking Care of
the Wounded

Wiz w oUAAuOu
In letter written to his father
and mother here. Mr.. and Mrs..
w. w. Tritle, Sergt. Glen W.
Tritle gives an interesting accoun.
OF the treatment of the wounded
men at the hospitals of France.
His letter reads in part as follows:
We'll, dear parents, my letters

ways. You asked me in your las
letter whether l was still mess

personal effects of the patients a.
well as their money and other val
uables. | will tell you how it is
done.
Il am stationed in what is call
ed a receiving and Forwarding
ward. A patient comes in on
stretcher and he is undressed an
his clothing is disinfected and then
listed and all the good clothing
that Is fit to be worn again is tied
in bundle and stored away until
he is ready to he evacuated.
IF he goes to base hospital

personal effects and yaluables, bit

fit consisting of the following:
One pair of socks, one pair of
shoes, breeches, legsings, Under
wear, blouse, shirt, overcoat, steel
cap or helmet, one cap, and i
trench coat. This is the outfit
a man gets when he goes to the
front.
After we undress the patient
he is carried into the next room
and is given a bath, and has his
wound redressed. Then he is sent
to what is called the pre-operating
ward. There they take the dress
ing off again and send him into
the X-ray room where they locate
the bullet or shrapnel. The exact
spot is marked and the patient is
removed to the operating room
where the bullet or shrapnel is re-
moved. He stays here in a ward
until he is evacuated or sent back
to duty.
we have at present 20 Red
Cross nurses and we expect to
have so in a short time. You can
see that it takes lots of help and
the hours are long to do all there
is. There is no such thing as two
shifts in my department, and all
the help | have is one private.
THE machines are flying over
us tonight and make quite bit
of noise. We can always tell a
German plane, as his motor runs
uneven and the allies all run
smoothly. They used to make
fellow feel nervous but now we
never think of them. If they drop
a bomb. they drop it. and if they
don't they don't. We are here
and can not get away so why feel
nervous about them? That is the
spirit Of the boys from the good
old L. S. A. and they are srrely
going at it as tho they meant Ii.
