"Casualties" at the World War I National Museum Superbly Captures the Reality of War

A new display at the National Museum gives visitors an authentic look into the workings of a field hospital and the realities and innovations of battlefield medicine during WWI. The feature includes accounts from the war's doctors, medics and nurses, and some interactive experiences. It's the visual presentation, however, that grabbed my attention. Below, I've paired some official photos from the war with photos of the new displays. I think you'll see what I mean.

Note:  The final photo above, of British soldiers wounded in Flanders in 1918, is believed to have inspired John Singer Sargent’s famous painting Gassed.  The museum's description states their display was inspired by the painting.
