GAS "CASUALTIES.” —This picture shows one of the treatments at a fixed First Aid Post for persons contaminated by exposure to blister gas. The heavily-contaminated outer clothes are taken off and placed in a string bag in a bin, a tally is slipped over the patient’s wrist and a metal disc, with the corresponding number, is attached to the string bag. The clothing is collected and decontaminated for subsequent return to the patient. The casualties then have their eyes treated and receive cleansing treatment under the showers.
