SCULPTURE AS AN AID TO SURGERY.—The sculptural skill of a number of noted artists and sculptors who are serving as Red Cross orderlies at the 3rd London General Hospital is now being utilised to good account in the direct work of surgical healing and reconstruction. Perfectly finished casts are being made of soldiers’ injured limbs, and are supplied to the surgical instrument maker, who is thus able to manufacture the correct splint or other kind of support necessary for the natural setting or healing of the wounded part. Our illustration shows Private Streeton (on left) and Lance-Corporal Coates, two well-known artists, with some of the models.
