Wounded soldier lying in a hospital bed, with his leg in traction. He appears to have lost part of his other leg. The bottom legs of the bed have been placed on blocks to make them higher than the top. According to the original caption the woman sitting next to the soldier is his mother. She has a letter in her hand, and is likely reading it to her son.
