In World War One they used structures called field hospitals. Field hospitals are tents set up near bases and the behind front lines to treat the wounded. They had medical equipment and nurses to treat the different injuries of the wounded soldiers. In the field hospitals they treated many different illnesses from physical injuries like infection, gas burns, and amputations to mental sicknesses like shell shock. Though positioned behind the front lines, even field hospitals could be hit by bombing raids. They held the injured, the dying, and eventually they would take away the dead.
