Description From Henry Wade's notes:
The patients seen lying in the tent were two of the Turkish Camel Corps who were captured wounded during a reconnaissance by our cavalry. The younger, who is nearest the camera, was known as Fahid. He had a gunshot wound of the left leg. Beyond him lies Abid who had a gunshot wound of the left arm. They were the first two patients dressed with Eusol in Egypt. They were kept in the Ambulance until they were fit to travel and became great favourites with the men who taught them to speak a moderate amount of English fairly fluently.
