Drawing: blood transfusion
Even in a prison camp in the jungle, Arthur Moon was able to scrounge bits and pieces to carry out medical procedures such as blood transfusions. The conditions shown here are extremely unhygienic (the drip bottles are unsealed) but these men had no alternative. The artist, Ashley Old, has signed his name on the packing case at lower right.
