content: Charcoal drawing on white paper of a medical dressing station for wounded soldiers. The first aid station is built into a ditch or culvert on the side of a road. American soldiers can be seen being treated for their wounds. In the foreground are injured soldiers in shadow; behind them the light shines on more soldiers receiving treatment, both on the ground and standing. A couple of shelves hold supplies. There are broken tree branches hanging over the ditch. On the road, at the top background, there is an ambulance with the Red Cross emblem on its side.
