Original - Ford Model T Field Ambulance, 1916. Canvas on wood frame model, used extensively by the British & French as well as the American Expeditionary Force in The Great War. Top speed 45mph from a 4-cylinder water-cooled engine. (copied from photo description, with some punctuation added)

Each time I see this photo I am struck by the desperation and herosim of the people who drove and rode in this vehicle. As a current EMS worker, I'm also struck by how much ambulances have changed in the almost 100 years since this ambulance was built. The contrast of the peaceful nature of the photo versus the drama surrounding the vehicle when it was in use also appeals to me.
