[Jane · Rating 3 out of 5]

An enticing cover, black and white photographs of WW1 ambulances and their drivers, and a first-hand account of the French Front make for a good read - for an historian who doesn't mind the naive narrative, which is as black and white as the photos.

[Kati Polodna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty much no ambulancing but still informative.
