Regimental Hospital in the field. Photographer: Graham, Robert Blackall
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Group of bearers posed with British officer. 'Now the regiment is relieved of all its sick by Field Hospitals, quite independent of corps, leaving the regiment with just sufficient material to treat urgent cases. It consists of two pairs of 'Pittarahs,' carried by a Bhanghy Badar, and containing medical comforts, such as stimulants and easily prepared foods, - the pony or mule carries a pair of field panniers, in which are a large number of drugs and appliances. A 'Field Medical Companion', carried across the shoulders, contains first dressing, stimulants, and things likely to be needed in the firing line. At the back may be seen the ambulance stretcher, or, in Indian parlance, 'Dandy'. The above forms the usual establishment with a Native Regiment.'
Subjects = health care facilities; Indian Army; military (general)
