Title
Boer War: showing the work of the ambulance men and transpor
Description

Boer War: showing the work of the ambulance men and transport of the wounded. Process print after F. Theamen?

Afrikaans: Die werk van die ambulansmanne – vervoer van gewondes uit die gevegsfront. Die swaar weermagsregulasie-ambulanse op vier wiele, ontwerp vir gebruik met infanterie, blyk redelik onvanpas te wees vir die noodhulp wat vinnigbewegende berede troepe in Suid-Afrika benodig. Daar is bevind dat een van die beste maniere om gewondes te dra, mits hulle regop kan sit, in drarakke op muile is. Mnr. Manders, mediese beampte van die Imperiale Yeomanry se 12de Bataljon, het 'n tweewielvoertuig bedink, gebou soos 'n kapkar, wat met die ruitery kan byhou en die artillerie kan volg waar dit ook al gaan. Met muile om hulle van die rotsagtige hoogtes af te bring, en hierdie voertuig om hulle te ontvang, gaan geen tyd verlore om die nodige hulp aan gewondes te verleen nie.
English: The transport of wounded from the field of battle: the work of the ambulance men. The four-wheeled heavy army regulation ambulances, which, designed for use with infantry, prove to be quite unsuited for the work required by rapidly moving mounted troops in South Africa. It has been found that one of the best ways of carrying the wounded, provided that they can sit up, is in panniers on mules. Mr. Manders, the medical officer of the 12th Battalion Imperial Yeomanry, has invented a two-wheeled car constructed like a Cape cart, so that it can move as quickly as cavalry and can travel wherever artillery can go. With mules to bring them down the rocky heights, and a car to receive them, no time is lost in rendering the necessary assistance to the wounded.
