Description

The operating theatre is the building in the centre where a patient is being carried in. The long building on the left is a ward and the roof of the other ward and dispensary can be seen on the right. The orderly room is in front of that and nearer still on the opposite bank is the kitchen. The tent in the foreground belongs to the Detail Issue Depot.
