Description: WOUNDED traces the journey made by casualties of the First World War from the battlefield to hospitals in Britain. It is a story told through the testimony of those who cared for these men - stretcher-bearers and medical officers, surgeons and chaplains, orderlies and nurses - from the aid post in the trenches to the casualty clearing station and the ambulance train back to Blighty. A homage to the courageous and determined men and women who saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the First World War.
