1. Title: "First Aid Nursing Yeomanry Ambulance: A Legacy of War Nursing from 1911" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures an iconic moment in the history of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY), a volunteer ambulance unit that played a significant role in the medical services during the First World War. Established in 1907, FANY was the first voluntary ambulance organization for women in the United Kingdom. The image shows a First Aid Nursing Yeomanry ambulance, one of seven photographs in this collection, which were displayed at the Bath Tattoo in July 1958. The photograph, dated 1911, depicts the ambulance in its pristine condition, with the FANY emblem prominently displayed on the side. The ambulance, which is believed to be a Model T Ford, was a crucial asset for the organization, enabling them to provide essential medical assistance to soldiers on the battlefield. FANY was unique in that it was the only women's ambulance unit to be granted official military status, allowing them to wear uniforms and rank insignia. The organization's members, who were all volunteers, underwent rigorous training and were deployed to various theatres of war, including France, Egypt, and Salonika. The First Aid Nursing Yeomanry's contributions during the First World War were invaluable, with members providing care and support to wounded soldiers, often in hazardous conditions. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their dedication and sacrifice. The legacy of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry continues to be celebrated, with the organization still in existence today, providing humanitarian aid and support in various parts of the world. The photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of the women who served in this remarkable organization, and their enduring impact on the history of military nursing.
