caption 1: Besides displacing horses
at the front in the World
War, motor-trucks are
also used to carry woun-
ded chargers off the
battlefield. Four ambu-
lances like the one shown
are now with the British
Army in France. Each
holds two horses. One
side of the body swings
down so that animals can
walk or be hauled in. The
twenty-ton naval gun be-
low was carried by an
American tractor over
eleven miles of mountain
roads which were badly
torn up by shot and shell.
Despite these difficulties,
the load was delivered
caption 2 : The great number of
motor vehicles now
in use in the war
has necessitated the
employment of
vehicles whose sole
purpose is to make
quick repairs. The
unit shown at the
left is an American
workshop with the
Ninth Australian
Corps. Note the
complete equip=
ment of forge, anvil,
vise, drill presses
and tools. Also
note how the lower
half of the body
swings down to
form a convenient
working platform
