Siege of Sebastopol - Mr. Guthrie's Ambulance Waggons, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Siege of Sebastopol - Mr. Guthrie's Ambulance Waggons, 1854. The latest accounts from the Crimea inform us that the Ambulances...have at length reached the spot where they are wanted...although a large number of these vehicles were sent from this country to the East, not one could be obtained to convey the wounded from the field after the battle of Alma....owing to some strange blunder, which has not yet been explained, they were left...while the army marched away to battle. The Ambulances, which are now in daily use, for the conveyance of the sick and wounded, are divided into compartments - one in front, containing six seats, where the slightly wounded can sit back to back, and another division behind, where...there are four berths for patients who have suffered severely. These invalid carriages are drawn by six mules, and driven by postboys...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of Mr. Guthrie's Ambulance Waggons during the Siege of Sebastopol in 1854. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, saw intense fighting between the Russian and allied forces, with the Siege of Sebastopol being one of the most significant battles. The image shows several ambulance wagons, each drawn by six mules, parked near a makeshift hospital tent. The wagons were a vital addition to the medical support system, providing essential transportation for the sick and wounded soldiers. The caption from the "Illustrated London News" published in 1854, sheds light on the long-awaited arrival of these ambulances. The article explains that despite several being sent from England, none were available to transport the wounded after the Battle of Alma due to a mysterious error. The ambulances, which were now in use, were divided into compartments, with six seats in the front for the slightly wounded and four berths in the back for more severely injured patients. The invalid carriages were driven by postboys, ensuring the wounded were transported with care and attention. The arrival of these ambulances marked a significant improvement in the medical care provided to the soldiers during the siege, enabling them to receive timely treatment and increasing their chances of survival.
