About this book

"Friends of France: The Field Service of the American Ambulance described by its members" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book documents the significant yet often overlooked contributions of American ambulance drivers who volunteered in France during World War I, recounting their experiences and the vital role they played in assisting the wounded on the battlefields. The narratives within highlight the camaraderie and dedication of these young Americans, many of whom were college students, as they interacted closely with French soldiers and civilians. The opening of the book establishes the context and motivation behind the American Ambulance Service, emphasizing the historical ties of friendship between France and the United States. A. Piatt Andrew, the Inspector General of the Field Service, reflects on the sacrifices made by the ambulance drivers, noting the admiration shared by Americans towards the French and their struggle in the war. He emphasizes that while the efforts of the ambulance drivers may seem small in relation to the war's enormity, their service represents a profound symbol of friendship and solidarity. The beginning also notes the dedication and perseverance required to transport the wounded amidst the chaos and danger present in conflict zones, setting the stage for the personal stories and experiences that are to unfold in the subsequent chapters.
