Australia at War

Lightly Wounded at a Menin Road Dressing Station.

Reading edition

“. . . . A brush had been passed over all the faces of these wounded, wiping out differences of expression, of character and intelligence; leaving them with something of the facial sameness that we see in different races of a different colour. I suppose it is the suffering and strain, common to them all, which gives them this one-ness of look, the same strain, the same relief, the same apathy, the same unquestioning collapse into the hands of the medicine men.”

Illustration from Australia at War A Winter Record Made by Will Dyson on the Somme and at Ypres, During the Campaigns of 1916 and 1917
