They appear to be a mix of different ranks, with one soldier stepping down from what seems to be a vehicle or platform. The backdrop includes trees and a structure that?s indicative of a military medical facility. During World War I, many soldiers relied on mobile medical units for immediate treatment. Given the date of 1918, this scene could reflect the aftermath of major battles such as the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, one of the largest operations involving American forces. The practice of providing swift medical aid was paramount during the war, leading to advancements in emergency care that influenced modern medical practices. The postcard has the caption "At receiving hospital after first aid" inscribed at the bottom right corner.
