Description
Near Bonnay, France. 26 July 1918. A well designed Advanced Dressing Station of the 14th Australian Field Ambulance on the Franvillers-Bonnay Road. It was situated on the high ground at the upper end of `Happy Valley'. The row of trees in the background marks the line of the Albert-Amiens Road. This block of buildings was for stretcher cases, and the large building in the centre was the operating theatre, separate blocks being used for gas patients and walking cases. The huge cross made of white chalk and painted canvas, was fifty feet in diameter, and although the surrounding country was heavily shelled, no shells fell in the camp.
