View of the interior of a hospital train with bunks on either side of a central passageway. On the left, a St John's Ambulance Brigade nurse is folding gauze squares and rolling cotton-wool balls for the medicine box in front of her, while on the right a Red Cross nurse is checking her record book. Both wear regulation frocks eight inches from the floor. In the left foreground is the operating valve, with its large circular dial for controlling the heat from the steam heating pipes which run along the inside of the roof. Further back in the converted 57-foot parcel van a male train-orderly from the St John Ambulance Brigade prepares neatly folded blankets should stretcher cases be brought onto the train. The brackets for carrying 30 wire stretchers in two tiers protrude from both sides of the bodywork.
