"The Veterinary Hospital- a New Case - the surgeon is discussing its treatment with his sergeant-major" image: a British Army Veterinary Service surgeon, wearing jodhpurs and pith helmet and leaning on a stick, stands beside a Sergeant-Major, in shorts and pith helmet, in front of a horse that is held at the bridle by an Egyptian boy. Behind them are two long, open-sided huts, within which numerous horses are tethered.
