Description: | John S. Sargent 1918
image: the interior of a hospital tent with campbeds lining the side. Many of the beds are occupied and covered with brown
or red blankets. One soldier lies propped up on pillows reading, another sleeps turned on his side the light from the open tent flap
falling on his bed.
Late in September 1918, while gathering material for 'Gassed' near Peronne, Sargent was struck down with influenza and
taken to a hospital near Roisel. Here, he spent a week in a hospital bed next to the war-wounded, which inspired this
work.
