Buckingham reveals memory gaps to Carstairs

The Field Dressing Station Wounded Soldiers are invoked as part of Buckingham’s fragmented memory, serving as a concrete anchor for her otherwise disjointed recollection. Their presence in her narrative lends credibility to her experience, as tending to the wounded is a mundane, expected duty that contrasts sharply with the surreal mist. The soldiers symbolize the human cost of war and the fragility of memory, while also functioning as a narrative device to ground the supernatural elements of the War Games in a tangible, emotional reality.
