U.S. soldier Gustav Starkenman poses for a picture in the Model T ambulance. Drivers were very valuable and very much needed in the war. Not very many people knew how to drive, let alone drive through land riddled with craters and rubble.
The Ford Model T Field Ambulance (1916 canvas on wood frame model) was used extensively by the British & French as well as the American Expeditionary Force in The Great War. Top speed 45mph from a 4 cylinder water cooled engine.
