New Ambulance with the Army in the East, 1854. Creator: Unknown
New Ambulance with the Army in the East, 1854. The Hospital Cart or Ambulance accompanying our troops for service in Turkey [during the Crimean War], is built after a plan recommended by Dr. [George James] Guthrie, and is much superior to anything of a similar nature uaed in the last war. It has two wheels; and the uneasy motion is in a great measure prevented by the cart being supported on strong springs. The wounded can lie at length in it; those who are slightly hurt, sit in front and rear, and on the sides; and slung from the top is a stretcher, in which one who is very severely wounded can be placed. The back-board lets down, for cases which require amputation; and underneath are lashed the hospital chests. The Ambulance is drawn by two horses; and, although firmly made, is very light, its weight being but 10 cwt'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
