Explanation

My grandfather was an ambulance driver in World War I.  This album was in Mom's closet when I was growing up.  The first 5/6ths of it holds pictures of Grandfather (he died 12 years before I was born) but the last five pages held these gruesome photos that I found to be very compelling to look at as a pre-teen!

The pictures were all taken by R. A. Dowd, Official Photographer of the Beau Desert Hospital Camp in Beau Desert France.  Grandfather ordered them after the was from the H. W. Brown Stationery, Art and Gift shop in Milwaukee.  The photos have an accompanying piece of paper that describes them.  The post title will include the Photo Number (you can see it in the corner of the photo) and its description.

Web searches on this photographer have yielded little.  Too bad I don't know his first name.  He also took pictures that were less gruesome.  I don't have all of them.

As far as I know all of these soldiers survived.  Amazing what the human body can tolerate.
