Description
I bet it has seen 'it all' and then some....
This is a British-made Ambulance Wagon MK VI. It dates from 1914-18. One hundred years ago, these horse-drawn ambulances transported wounded soldiers from the battlefield. Unarmored and vulnerable, they often traveled by night to avoid becoming targets. The journey between trench and casualty clearing station could take many days over rough tracks—an agonizing journey for men with terrible injuries.
