Ambulance for the Wounded, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Ambulance for the Wounded, 1854. Crimean War: "Ambulance" or Hospital-cart, for removing the wounded from the battle-field...It is a light two-wheeled vehicle, on indiarubber springs. In front is a seat capable of accommodating four persons, who are not incapacitated by their wounds from sitting upright - a broad leather strap, buckled in front, giving them increased security. In the interior...stretchers are slung lengthwise, for a similar number, whose wounds are of a more serious nature. Should circumstances render immediate amputation necessary, a board is let down behind, and serves for an amputating-table. Various appliances for the comfort of the wounded, including a vessel for heating water, broth, &c. are snugly packed underneath....the Emperor of the French...has since had a large number constructed for the French army on the same plan'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
