Description: | Gilbert Spencer 1921
image: a large squared up preparatory drawing for a painting, showing the exterior of No. 36 Stationary Hospital in
Mahemdia, Sinai, with the sea visible behind. In the foreground a soldier works at a large table and a man of the Egyptian Labour Corps
carries a sack over his shoulder. To right and left are buildings of the hospital, the foremost two with porches where patients lie in beds
tended to by nurses. Further back in the middle of the composition, a group of men carry small shelved cabinets, beyond which a line of
convalescent men walk towards another of the hospital buildings. A sailing ship is visible on the water on the horizon. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | civilian personnel Egyptian Labour Corps medical / convalescence Royal Army Medical Corps Palestine and Arabia 1914-1918 Egypt women / womens work British Army Military Personnel British Army 1914-1918 wounded / disabled military buildings / installations First World War 36th Stationary Hospital | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Spencer, Gilbert (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
