The trains that saved soldiers in WW1

The mass casualties of World War One called for evacuation of the wounded on a scale never seen before. It could never have been managed without ambulance trains.

Watch how moving these mobile hospitals - up to a third of a mile long - saved soldiers' lives.  Link
