No. 3 casualty is lying on the ground apparently unconscious, with no obvious signs of injury. No. 4 is lying quite still with blood spurting from a wound in the middle of his right thigh. No. 5 is lying on his back shouting and throwing his arms about. There is some deformity of the right leg. 7 No. 6 is semi-reclining, holding the right side of his chest and is coughing up blood, apparently with pain at every Die. * No. 1 is dead. No. 2 has a slight scalp wound at the top of his head. No. 3 is suffering from internal haemorrhage from a penetrating wound of the abdomen, with small points of entry and exit.$
