Description
English: British Medical Services in the Second World War
Army Blood Transfusion Service: Driver J Chalmers enjoys a bottle of beer after giving blood at No 2 Advanced Blood Bank in Lanciano, Italy in December 1943. Six men work night and day giving blood transfusions to the wounded and taking blood from donors of all ranks who volunteer. The ready availability of fresh blood and plasma was of critical importance in saving life. Blood banks supplied blood and plasma to Field Transfusion Units (FTUs) which worked with Casualty Clearing Stations (CCS) and Field Dressing Stations (FDS).

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.
