The Battle of Egypt, 1942- Blood-transfusion
image: two patients lie in the tent of an advanced casualty clearing station in the North African desert. The foremost
man, with blonde curly hair, is undergoing a blood transfusion. His bandaged right arm is raised and attached to an intravenous blood drip,
the IV bag suspended from the tent ceiling. His other arm is also heavily bandaged in a sling. Both men appear to be fast asleep, to the

extent that the blonde man does not notice several desert flies resting on his face.
