No. 720: Canine heroes have won great fame in the war. These dogs have rushed right into the thick of the fight and often they have been hit by shells and wounded. Little provision has been made to take care of these heroes. When they are wounded they are usually left to die. Their glory is indeed vain. Picture shows Red Cross nurse giving dog first aid medicine. No. 719: A Russian Red Cross staff and its ambulance train at the front
