"WOUNDED AT KEW. Our heroes from Richmond Red Cross Hospital being entertained at tea".

Garden of the Richmond Red Cross Hospital. Row of seated soldiers in uniform sitting with nurses and civilians. Small children peer through the iron gates observing the proceedings. Pan of soldiers and civilians seated at the tea tables having tea. The tables have white cloths and vases of flowers. Again several children watch through the railings. Some soldiers and civilians smile at the camera. Closer shot of a lady giving a strawberry to a soldier with a bandaged head; they look at the camera and laugh. A little girl gives a soldier a flower. Two soldiers with crutches playing croquet; one hits the ball with the mallet. Two soldiers holding up a little girl who is draped in a union flag. She smiles and waves the union flag she is holding in her hand to camera.
