Synopsis
Originally published in 1934, Via Ypres told the story of the 39th Divisional Field Ambulances, a unit that would face grave danger as it provided vital services to soldiers fighting across the Western Front throughout World War I. The book covers the unit from its founding in 1915 through the end of the war, detailing the many ways that field medicine changed and improved in the crucible of war. Allan Jobson also gives us a close-up, frequently moving portrait of the young men who made up the 39th, from their training through their first sobering experience of the danger and misery that were constant companions on the battlefields of the Great War. An unforgettable document of bravery and care in impossible conditions, Via Ypres offers a new way to see the action, drama, and tragedy of the war.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The story of the 39th Divisional Field Ambulances beings in the year of 1915 at various recruiting offices, and continues in a thin, uncertain stream of variable humanity, finding its way to the Sussex Downs, facing the sea, at Cow Gap, Eastbourne, Here the lines of white tents, the whitewashed stones, the martial sounds and atmosphere welcomed the embryo soldier to the service of his country, and to fellowship unique and abiding. These embryo soldiers were to become the men that would be responsible for the mobile frontline medical units and had special responsibility for the care of casualties of the Brigades in their Division. Via Ypres tells of these young men - mostly mere boys and non-militaristic in their education - faced with the task of preparing to go to war to take part in the great struggle. These happy, cheerful and perhaps a bit casual soon-to-be soldiers remained just so once training was over but also became the gallant and efficient men who were to be faced with the danger and misery that war cannot help but bring; in doing so potentially risk their lives to save those of their comrades. First hand account of life in the RAMC from recruitment to the front line. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
