The left side of a two-page spread with two black and white photographs. The top photo shows five people lying on the floor. The person at the bottom of the photo is blurry, the person above them is bare-chested, with wrappings around their head, stomach, and one of their legs. This person and the person above them are the ones most clear in the photo. That third person appears to have injuries or medicine on their face, as it looks mottled. They have wrappings around their head, one hand, nearly the entirety of one arm, and their chest. This third and second person both have their knees bent and raised slightly. The fourth person has their back to the camera. They appear to have bandages around their head and arm, maybe around their lower body as well. The fifth person is mostly off camera. They all look like they are lying on top of blankets and some have hay under them as well. The text next to the photo reads, "Hiroshima. A number of soldiers suffering from severe wounds have filled each floor of the Fukuya Department Store, the inside of which was completely destroyed by fire. (Photo. by H. Miyatake on Aug. 9th)" with the Japanese translation under that. The photo on the bottom of the page shows two people, both wearing white lab coats. One is seated, wearing glasses, and writing. They are mostly facing toward the camera, but slightly angled, and they are looking down at what they are writing. The other person is standing next to a table, we mostly see their side profile from head to toe. They are wearing dark pants and shoes, their sleeves are rolled up, a dark apron is tied over their white lab coat, and they also wear a white hat or scarf. This person is looking down at what looks to be an organ on their table, with one hand visibly hovering above it. The room they are standing in looks like it is made up of incomplete wooden slats for the walls and floor, with large spaces in between. There is a white jug on the table, a white tray or dish, and in the foreground are rows of glass bottles and jars of various sizes with cork tops. The text above the picture reads, "Hiroshima. autopsy at the Teishin Hospital. (Photo. by S. Kikuchi on Oct. 8th) with the Japanese text underneath that.
