Most of the pictures of the series LC-B2-2198-x are date-scratched 5/16/11 and most of them were likely taken after Ciudad Juarez fell in insurrectos (Maderistas) hands, on May 10, 1911. The escene seems to be an American doctor attending a wounded insurrecto (See in this Bain Collection photo "Americans With Madero" "Dr. Wilson chief of our hospital corps" There's a picture in the Scott Photo Collection (Nr. 19) in which are depicted an armed man (maybe an insurrecto) and a wounded man, that seem were photographed on the same brick wall, which can be also found in your digital collections and programs: hdl.loc.gov./loc.pnp/cph.3b39285 which seems to be precedent of picture hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp´/cph3b39286 "A fallen hero" where it seems to be the corner of the same brick wall (both dated c 1911).
