Synopsis "British Army Ambulance Trains"

Railway wagons were first used by the British to carry sick and wounded militarily in the Crimean War in 1855. Specially converted British hospital trains first appeared in the South African War of 1899-1902. In the two World Wars in the twentieth century British forces - army and navy - developed an intensive system of ambulance trains with medical staff and facilities on board to ferry the wounded away from the battlefields of Europe to the Channel Ports. Ambulance Trains were widely used within Great Britain to distribute casualties to hospitals all around the country. Also in both World Wars, the US Army in Europe operated ambulance trains in support of the British using British rolling stock. Their use continued into the Korean War and in the Cold War the British Army of the Rhine had a fleet of ambulance trains ready for use in Germany in the eventuality of conflict in Northern Europe. Whether your interest is railway, military or medical history Brian Robertson has written an expert history of the use of ambulance trains by British forces from their beginnings in the nineteenth century to the Cold War. The author has drawn on an extensive archive of historical photographs, drawings and other images to illustrate his researches in this book.
