X-Ray Machine on Western Front
Here we see a French soldier being given an X-Ray in a Canadian hospital somewhere on the Western Front in France. The glass structure in the metal bowl is the X-Ray tube. Although X-Rays had only been discovered twenty years before the war and the first working machine presented ten years before, X-Ray machines were present from the start of the war. In this case a bullet is being hunted.
