Description
Depicts an encampment with six First Aid vehicles approaching on a road that disappears into the horizon. Pictured are telegraph poles and two groups of different-sized tents divided by the road. The landscape doesn't appear to be war damaged, which would suggest this terrain hasn't seen any fighting. Shadows on the top of a double decker vehicle indicates that the convoy is perhaps returning from the front line with its wounded.
