THE ENGLISH RED CRESCENT IN CONSTANTINOPLE


Dr. C. M. Page, Chief Medical Officer Mrs. and Major Doughty-Wylie
Our Artist writes: “ The three Red Cross, or rather Red Crescent, units, financed by Sir Ernest Cassel, and under the directorship of Major Doughty-Wylie, C. M. G., have been divided up. Some are at Bekos with the sick, about a unit and a half are at the Fine Art School by Seraglio Point with the wounded, and there is an advance camp nearer the front. At the
Fine Art School, the subject of the illustration, all the casts have been removed, excepting a Nike and a Parthenon frieze, that have been swathed in red calico by the Turks to prevent their bothering the patients. The hospital had at one moment eighty-four wounded, seventy-six arriving together, who had been four days at the front, then six days in trains, without receiving any care. Of these, many of whom were otherwise ill, thirty-six died. Mrs. Doughty-Wylie, two Turkish ladies, and two French sisters have been hard at work with the doctors.
