Inscribed in ink on verso: The Y.M.C.A. ministering to the walking at a ruined "Brasserie" near the line. While the wounded are waiting to be dressed at the Dressing Station next door, they are fed and presented with cigarettes - all free of charge. Over 2700 men passed through this post during one of the recent pushes and the Y.M.C.A. staff were busy day and night until the stream of wounded ceased. W.
