The doctor's part, what happens to the wounded in war . Transport of Wounded by Litter through a Wheel Litter Transport. TRANSPORTATION trenches where walking is difficult even whennot encumbered by a burden. Due to the rangeof modem Artillery fire the approach trenchesmay mean a matter of one or two miles throughwhich litters must be carried, although this isobviated at times by evacuation over the normalground level at night when darkness gives rela-tive protection to the working parties. This class of work is done in the Regiment,by the Regimental Litter Bearers, who form anintegral part of each Regiment, and they aresupplemented by the personnel of the band if theRegiment has one. These bearers are supposedto clean up for their own Regiment and seethat the wounded are carried back to the firstaid station. If further hand transportation isnecessary from this point it is furnished by theDivision Litter Bearers, who are held in re-serve by the Division Surgeon and sent in wheretheir services are most required. In many casesthe wounded are evacuated direct from the firstaid posts
