Medical Department - First Aid - Ambulance Service - Types - Boston has first street car military ambulance
Description
  • Scope and content: Original Caption: Boston has first street car military ambulance. The people of Boston, Massachusetts, claim the distinction of having the first street car military ambulance in the world. The ambulance which was rebuilt from an old type car used in Boston years ago is to be used to transport wounded soldiers from the ports to the base hospitals in and around the city. The idea was suggested by Brigadier General John A. Johnston, commander of the Northeast Department. The car has sixteen litters, eight upper and eight lower. Photo shows members of the United States of America Medical Department placing a "wounded soldier" in the new street car ambulance.
