This is another magnificent group portrait from my collection of News Service Photographs from World War I.  This is image is from mid-1918 and depicts nurses, wounded and recovering soldiers and an assortment of volunteers preparing relief packages for other wounded soldiers in field hospitals.  My experience with these images is that are many levels of portraits within the larger group portrait–looking at them under magnification is an addictive process, and quite often there are some lovely surprises.
