These large and heavy 2-wheel-drive Humber ambulances were standard in the British 8th Army. They couldn’t handle loose sand or sticky mud as well as our nimble 4-wheel-drive Dodge ambulances; so we were assigned mostly front-line work. Note the 12th LFA [Light Field Ambulances ] hospital tent in the background.
Location: 12th LFA [Light Field Ambulances], Marble Arch.
