The ambulance in the photo at the bottom of each page on this website is a detail of an Italian
ambulance photo in the World
War I Archive. The caption reads: "Italian
ambulance. Note overhead screens to prevent overhead observation of
roadway. From photo scrapbook of Pvt. William Voss, 332nd U.S. Infantry,
fall 1918." This background photo is
a detail of the original. This actual Italian ambulance crew
could easily have been models for Hemingway's characters and soldiers that the
young author might have met himself during his time in the Italian ambulance
service.
