American Ambulance Field Service

The American Ambulance Field Service was a volunteer organization active during World War I, primarily composed of American civilians who served as ambulance drivers on the European front. They transported wounded soldiers from battle zones to hospitals, providing vital emergency medical support. These volunteers often worked in challenging and dangerous conditions, demonstrating bravery and humanitarian commitment. The service helped improve the mobility and care of wounded soldiers and contributed to the broader war effort through their dedicated emergency response. After the war, many members went on to influence civilian ambulance and emergency medical services in the United States.
