A haunt familiar to @RooFlyer - the Lemon Tree Hotel at Aurangabad, India. Slurping a Sula Sauv Blanc outdoors on a pleasant mild evening while the chef rattles the wok with my meal in the background.

Happened all to often. There was a young Lt Herps in 35th Bn who was wounded in July 1917, but seemed to be doing ok, only for things to turn bad and die 3 months later. There was only so much they could do with the medicines and techniques available.
