Summary
At a military hospital in Cairo war wounded busy themselves by making leather toy animals. They have been taught to use their hands again by attending handiwork classes organised by an expert in occupational therapy, Miss Bramwell, who is a niece of Admiral Cunningham. Many of the wounded who can’t walk get a lift on a bomb trolley which was donated by the RAF.
