Description:Excerpt from Mercy-Workers of the War: An Interview With the Hon. Arthur Stanley, C. B., M. P., Chairman of the British Red Cross Society, Which Appeared in the "New York American" And the International News Service SyndicateOne of the first things I did on receiving the necessary permission, said Mr. Stanley, was to get together half a dozen volunteer motorists, all members of the Royal Automobile Club, to drive the Ambulance Cars which we were sending to France. Our position was a curious one. The motor-ambulance was then practically an unknown quantity so far as actual warfare went, and the military author ities stipulated that our drivers were not to wear uniform, nor, under any circumstances, to go near the firing line. There was to be no Red Cross on the cars. Truly, the mission ofthe motor ambulance was to be extremely limited. They were simply to go about far behind the hring-line and pick up wounded men who could not be carried to the field hospitals men, for example, who had crawled for safety into abandoned cottages and barns.With the possible exception of the Amer ican Ambulance cars at Neuilly, ours were the first motor ambulances used in France. But the value of a rapid service for the transport of wounded soldiers was quickly recognised, and now, of course, wherever there is fighting there are motor ambulances.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
