Blown Up (Art.IWM ART 2376) image: a full length depiction of a soldier, seemingly **shell-shocked,** standing in front of the edge of a dugout. It seems that
his clothes have literally been blown away from his body, for he is naked but for a scrap of blanket across his hips, his boots and helmet. He stands in a classical pose holding the rifle delicately in his fingers and pointed away from his body.

For the treatment of rheumatic fever, myalgia, neurasthenia, neuritis, otitis, insomnia, arthritis, nephritis, functional diseases of the heart, neuralgia and shell shock. Closed 26 March 1919.
