Convalescent American officers from the American Red Cross hospital at Lancaster Gate, London, "seeing London" with Captain Herbert S. Johnson of Boston now with the American Red Cross in England. The officer in the field-cap is Captain W.A. Buckle of Bristol, Tenn. The other officer on the lower step is Captain P.R. Brummit of Hampton, Tenn. Captain Johnson stands between and behind them. The wounded men wear an arm-band of blue felt to indicate that they are wounded men. Both Buckle and Brummel came from the Kemmel push to London. On Captain Johnson's first visit to Lancaster Gate Hospital, Capt. Buckle handed Capt. Johnson as a gift of piece of shrapnel which had been taken from his own body. "I am afraid you cannot spare it", said Capt. Johnson. "Oh I have plenty more where that came from," replied Buckle

Zusammenfassung

Das Women's Auxiliary Corps (Indien) wurde 1942 gegründet und erfüllte ähnliche Pflichten wie der britische Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS). Dazu gehörten Fahrdienste, Büro- und Chiffrierarbeiten und allgemeine Dienstleistungen wie das Überführen von Versorgungsgütern für die Truppen. Im Februar 1944 waren 7.993 Frauen im Korps. Es wurde 1947 aufgelöst, als Indien seine Unabhängigkeit erlangte.
