Ambulance at Verdun is a frontline memoir of American volunteers, medical tents, and night evacuations on the French front.

This account follows a volunteer ambulance worker who joins the Red Cross and receives a front-row view of life near Verdun, including rescues, amputations, and the human cost of war. Told with immediacy and humility, the book tracks the author from New York to the trenches, through storms of artillery, and finally homeward across multiple stops in Europe.

A personal, ground-level look at ambulance duty: delivering the maimed and dying, and moving patients to places of care behind the lines.
The arc of a volunteer’s journey: from initial decision and shipboard camaraderie to Paris headquarters, lengthy paperwork, and the roller-coaster ride of wartime duty.
Vivid, uncompromising scenes from occupied villages and front-line hospitals, including encounters with enemy violence and the moral challenges it brings.
The long road home: a voyage via London, air raids, and mine-laden seas, ending with a return to American shores.

Ideal for readers who want a firsthand glimpse of medical volunteers in World War I, wartime logistics, and the human stories behind frontline action.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

When I went to France there was no thought in my mind that I should ever write a book on the subject of my experiences over there. On my return, however, many friends besieged me for details of the great war, which had come under my observation while serving in the Ambulance Corps on the French front. It was easy to infer from the eagerness of all that real news was in demand, none seeming to tire of asking questions and listening to what I had to say in reply. From these impromptu conversations occurring day after day, I began to realize how much I had really experienced during my stay abroad.
