How were wounds treated during World War 1?

They were usually "patch jobs" and they did the best they could. They didn't have helicopters to come and air-lift them out. It was by the grace of God many survived from their wounds. In some cases there were hospitals near the fighting lines, but generally not enough doctors or nurses. Many people died in no mans land due to no one being able to help them and more concerned about saving themselves. Yet, there were the few soldiers that managed to drag back wounded soldiers back in the trenches to receive treatment. When a soldier was too injured to continue, he relied on corageous soldiers to bring them back from over the top.
