Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'The Red Cross ambulance pursues its work of mercy, taking all hazards, threading its way among the debris of the ruined and shell-shattered villages, often coming to grief on the wet and slippery roads, rendered difficult and well-nigh impassable by innumerable shell-holes.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. III, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
