| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Ambulancing on the French front" by Edward R. Coyle is a wartime memoir written in the early 20th century. It follows an American volunteer ambulance driver serving with the French Army in World War I, moving from training grounds to the shattered sectors around Verdun. The focus is on frontline evacuations, battlefield medicine, and the everyday courage of soldiers and civilians amid bombardment and occupation.<br/><br/>The opening of this memoir sets Coyle’s aim to report facts from the French front, then traces his impulsive decision to volunteer, the voyage to France, and hardening-up at Sandricourt. He explains how the Norton‑Harjes/American Red Cross sections and French sanitary service work—abris and posts, stretcher-bearers, blackout driving, movement orders—alongside medical advances like Carrel’s wound irrigation and paraffin treatment for burns. Brief scenes show discipline and thrift learned in camp, Paris’s somber resilience and the jubilant July Fourth parade, and a clear primer on how many unseen services make up “the front.” Vivid firsthand action follows at Verdun: aerial duels, murderous shellfire, a set‑piece French assault, brutal German counterattacks smashed by artillery, and a night of triage in a cellar. Subsequent vignettes include German depredations in Baccarat, the adoption of a homeless boy by the drivers, a strafing raid that interrupts a meal run, the peril of listening posts, and the start of Badonviller’s “martyr” story.
