An image from Nelson's Portfolio of War Pictures: No 4. "Though motor ambulances are largely used in the present war, the old-fashioned four-horse Red Cross wagon is by no means superannuated. It is still used mainly for transferring the wounded from the actual fighting line and the dressing stations immediately to the rear to the base, where smooth-travelling motors are assembled to convey the patients to the nearest hospital." -- caption of photograph
