Battle of Cambrai.
© IWM (Q 11372)
Battle of Cambrai. German prisoners bringing in British wounded to the 57th Division's advanced dressing station (in the grounds of a chateau, just outside Cambrai), 8 October 1918. Notice the Royal Fusiliers private on the right.Also notice that the man on the stretcher is now up to his 5th wound...

With just over a month of fighting left to go, I do sincerely hope that every man in the photo survived the war, friend and foe alike.

I think that grenadierguardsman was referring to the presence of the four wound stripes on the poor b*gg*rs left sleeve, as you pointed out, his 5th wound.
