image: A side on view of a line of soldiers being led along a duckboard by a medical orderly. Their eyes are bandaged as a
result of exposure to gas and each man holds on to the shoulder of the man in front. One of the line has his leg raised in an exaggerated
posture as though walking up a step, and another veers out of the line with his back to the viewer. There is another line of temporarily
blinded soldiers in the background, one soldier leaning over vomiting onto the ground. More gas-affected men lie in the foreground, one of
them drinking from a water-bottle. The crowd of wounded soldiers continues on the far side of the duckboard, and the tent ropes of a
dressing station are visible in the right of the composition. A football match is being played in the background, lit by the evening

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate ((PD-old)) tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, ((PD-Art)) may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
