Amidst the chaos of war, an ambulance station serves as a beacon of hope and healing. From the battlefields of Verdun, where French soldiers were tended to in a makeshift station four miles behind the front lines, to the American Civil War at Brandy Station, Virginia, where Quartermasters managed the care of the wounded. The ambulance station at Curlu, in the northern French region of Somme, saw British and German soldiers sharing the same space during World War I. Fast forward to the Western Ambulance Station in Fulham, London, where coach-type ambulances were stationed during the 1930s, and the London County Council ambulances of Deptford and the iconic white number 11, providing essential medical aid during peacetime and wartime alike. Through the decades, the ambulance station has remained a vital part of the war effort and a symbol of compassion and care in the face of adversity.
