Picture of “Beached Bessie”, a former French ambulance used by the Germans, gift of a US Officer to the ARC.
Quite heavily decorated (paintings removed by order of the CO), the vehicle first served as a transport for the American Red Cross contingent, but was later taken over by the 25th General Hospital for use as a mess truck to carry the food to the different wards, being christened “Meals on Wheels”.
This vehicle saw some use during the hospital’s stay at Lison, between August and November 1944.
