The British Sector of the Western Front: Treatment
1. Study Source C. Using Source C and your own knowledge, why was it hard for this stretcher bearer to find enough men to carry the soldiers away?
Source C: From a letter written by a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) to his family in 1915. He was in charge of a group of stretcher-bearers. Here he is describing the work of his group of stretcher-bearers after a German attack on the British trenches.
'At 2 am a terrifying bombardment began and at 5 am the first batch of wounded began coming down the communication trench. It was evening by the time I got out of the trench to look for more wounded. I went off with another man to search for the wounded. We found most of them in a wooded area, so weak that they could not call out. They were so relieved at being found that I led a search for more wounded. It was awful work getting them out of the shell holes. It was also hard to find enough men to carry them away because the stretcher-bearers were so exhausted. Finally, we got our last wounded to safety at 4 am the next morning. Altogether, we had collected 18 men in a single day and were certain that no one was left behind.' |
