horse drawn

• •When the BEF was first sent to France in 1914, the leadership of the army chose not to send any motorised ambulances.
• •It was soon realised that this was a mistake, as the horse-drawn wagons could not cope with the high numbers of injured.
• still ended up being used using 6 horses sometimes instead of 2
• the shaky transport often made Injuries worse. A lack of ambulance meant many men were left.
