Description |
English: British Medical Services in the Second World War Medical Transport: Lightly wounded soldiers playing cards in a hospital train in Belgium. Trains were manned by both military and civilian crews, whose job it was to ensure safe and speedy travel to the casualties, including enemy wounded. Although disorganised and damaged by war, trains played an important part in transporting casualties from hospitals and dressing stations to bases and evacuation areas. Casualties who were able to walk were given comfortable saloon coaches for the journey. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
