    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called British Army, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    The poor man in the first bed looks a though holding a parasol is the last thing he should be doing :-(

    You'll notice too that each man is tucked neatly away under his sheet and blankets, which are all precisely folded and tucked under the mattress. Not a wrinkle or an uneven edge to be seen anywhere! Precise nursing technique to be sure! I wonder if they were carried outside and back in again while still lying in their beds? Looking closer at the patient in the last bed, farthest from the camera, he seems to have his covers draped across some sort of "tenting" device or blanket cradle, to keep the covers from putting undue pressure on his legs. Could be to keep the blankets and sheet from resting directly on a painful wound, a burn, or even a lost leg.

    'In May 1915 he [David Alfred Thomas] was on the RMS Lusitania when she was torpedoed. He and his daughter, Margaret were among the survivors. A humorous story, related by D. A. Thomas, was that local newspaper placards carrying news of the sinking read "Great National Disaster. D. A. Saved".' From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Alfred_Thomas
