Full description

An unfinished stable at the hospital, "will you help the RSPCA to complete it ?". A group of three horses. A wounded horse being attended to at a mobile veterinary section near the front. Wounded horses are entrained, then detrained at the hospital and loaded into a horse-box. The hospital itself includes an operating theatre, with horses being operated on, treatment for shrapnel wounds, and a horse-dip. The horses are then fed and exercised. A remount officer inspects the cured horses and they are led out of the stables
