For maimed heroes - ladies of surgical requisites association making. papier mache splints. Location of events unknown.
Women war workers of the Surgical Requisites Association make papier mache splints. Shot of several women -with white scarves over their hair sort of like nurses' headgear - seen through window; working. Then a few shots panning across interior -- women at tables with all sorts of pieces of equipment; etc. -- oval tubs; bowls; pieces of papier-mache which look vaguely like bits of spare arms & legs lying about. Women working on these splints which seem to be custom-made; to fit a person exactly. Glimpse of a man seated at end of table.
CU & pan on more nurses making more splints. Woman in white head-dress starts to walk toward cam.; others follow in lines; Buckingham Palace in BG; boys stand at right watching. CU one of these women talking; with several men in BG; ECU same; she laughs. Pan across group of more women in front of gates; with other people in civilian dress in BG.
