| Description: | AMBULANCES ON THE SALONIKA FRONT - MOVING WOUNDED SOLDIERS Modern motor ambulances and primitive mule stretchers used to transport wounded soldiers. World War One; transporting the wounded at the Salonika front in Greece; where the Allies were trying to push northward. First a primitive method (could stand in for wars of 19th century): mules dragging stretchers with wounded men lying on them; or two mules with two poles tied between them forming a frame for a stretcher; and finally a two-wheeled cart pulled by a mule; able-bodied men walk alongside this long line of mules. More modern equipment: row of Red Cross ambulances start driving. Ambulances driving in line over dirt; stirring up dust; toward camera; tents of army camp in BG. | |
