Summary[edit]

Description
English: Allied wounded after a battle near Rheims, France, during World War I. Allied soldiers, many wearing slings or medical dressings, pose for the camera. Despite their injuries, most manage to appear cheerful. The British government and military commanders considered it important for morale in Britain that troops were seen to be remaining positive and determined.

The royal city of Rheims, or Reims as it is more commonly spelled today, was on the front line for most of the war, and its historic cathedral was badly damaged by German artillery.
[Original reads: 'THE FIGHT OF THE WOODS NEAR RHEIMS. British, French and Italian wounded soldiers in a group, as cheery as ever.']
