St John Ambulance litter

Posted Wednesday 10th April
Museum of the Order of St John

Two illustrations of the 'Neuss' ambulance litter. The litter is a length of rectangular wood to carry a person lying down, with a large wooden wheel on either of the long sides. It has a hood at one end (where a person's head would be in they were lying down) which can be pulled over the person to hide or protect their face. the litter is moved by an individual who wheels it from one end. Each illustration shows the side view of the litter: one view shows a man wheeling it, the other view shows two men wheeling it, with one standing at each end.
