Another boy. stripped to the

waves palm fronds over the
wounded to keep the flies away

Some Of the wounded boys are
unconscious, but most of them are

even propped up on their elbows
chatting. They are bound for field
hospital tents. There is no moan
ing or complaining.
Next, you meet a group Of the
walking wounded. Some have
their arms in sings and some have
temporary patches over their faces
and necks. Some are stumbling
