EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Kitchen Car of No. 16 Ambulance train, taken in April 1915 during the First World War. Built at Swindon Works and generously funded by the United Kingdom Flour Millers Association, this extraordinary carriage served as a lifeline for countless soldiers on the frontlines. The image captures the essence of this vital mobile medical unit, which played a crucial role in providing essential care to wounded servicemen. Adorned with a prominent plaque on its door, proudly acknowledging the association's generous contribution, it stands as a testament to human compassion amidst war's chaos. Equipped with patient beds, an efficient pharmacy, and treatment rooms within its confines, No. 16 Ambulance train was an oasis of healing amid adversity. This photograph offers us a glimpse into its interior world; perhaps we can imagine dedicated medical personnel tending to injured soldiers or preparing nourishing meals in its well-equipped kitchen. No 16 ambulance train valiantly served on French soil throughout WW1 - witnessing firsthand both triumphs and tragedies that unfolded during those tumultuous years. Its presence undoubtedly brought solace and hope to those who needed it most. Preserved within STEAM Museum of GWR today, this print serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's resilience even in times of great turmoil. It encapsulates not only the ingenuity behind such wartime innovations but also pays homage to all those who selflessly cared for others during one of history's darkest chapters
