EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a ward car of an Ambulance Train built by the Caledonian Railway Company during World War I on the orders of the War Office. Circa 1915, this ward car was designed for the conveyance of wounded British soldiers from the Western Front in France to the Channel ports. The image reveals a meticulously arranged space, where the comfort of the injured soldiers was a top priority. The ward car is equipped with numerous bunks and beds, each fitted with soft mattresses and blankets, providing a modicum of rest for the weary and injured soldiers. Nurses, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen tending to the wounded, their faces etched with concern and compassion. The ambulance train was a vital component of the military medical services during WWI, transporting the injured from the battlefield to hospitals and ultimately, back to their homes and families. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War, and the unwavering dedication of the medical personnel who cared for the wounded soldiers.
