Goods vehicle converted into an ambulance ward car, c. 1940
This photograph shows an interior view of a goods vehicle that has been converted into an ambulance ward car. The basic slatted bunks held up by chains look to offer little in the way of comfort, and the mesh covered ventilation slats would have allowed more than a healthy amount of fresh air to blow onto patients.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the harrowing days of World War II. It showcases a remarkable transformation, as a humble goods vehicle has been ingeniously converted into an ambulance ward car. Stepping inside this mobile medical unit, we are immediately struck by its utilitarian nature. The interior reveals basic slatted bunks suspended by chains, offering little in terms of comfort for wounded soldiers or civilians seeking urgent care. The mesh-covered ventilation slats tell their own story - while they allowed fresh air to circulate within the vehicle, they also exposed patients to chilling winds and harsh weather conditions. As we examine this image closely, it becomes evident that every inch of space has been maximized for patient transport and treatment. The resourcefulness exhibited in converting this van into an ambulance is truly commendable, reflecting the dire circumstances faced during wartime. While details about the specific company responsible for this conversion remain unknown, what is clear is that this vehicle played a vital role in providing critical medical assistance on the front lines. It stands as a testament to human resilience and adaptability in times of crisis. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of those who risked their lives selflessly during World War II – both on and off the battlefield – ensuring that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, help was never too far away.
