Photograph, one of 4, of stretcher cases being transported on carts, 1915-1916 (c).
From a collection of 148 photographs relating to the work of the British Ambulance Committee serving with the French Army in the Vosges, Western Front, World War One.

The bright uniforms worn by French infantry in the early months of the war, alongside a reckless doctrine of attack at all times, help explain the staggering losses sustained by the French Army. By the end of 1914 they had lost nearly a million men killed, captured or wounded.
