Description
World War I triage station. Wounded arriving at a triage station from a sanitary train in France during World War I. Triage is the initial sorting of wounded according to the level of care they need. The term 'triage' originated from the French use of the word in World War I, with 'Salles de Triage' or sorting wards, used to assess the wounded and divide them into those with slight wounds and those with severe wounds. Photographed in Suippes, France, by the Signal Corps of the United States Army. The USA fought in World War I from April 1917 up to the end of the war in November 1918.
