OUR AMBULANCE APPEAL. 
By ATHERTON FLEMING. 
As we go to press tlie total emount of subscriptions 
received is £621 ITs. 3d., a figure which is very 
satisfactory indeed. An order has been placed 
for a chassis, to cost £430, and it is estimated 
that the cost of the body — which is being built to 
the design of Mr. Amos, the consulting engineer to the Hector 
Munro Ambulance Corps— will be about £60. Mr. Amos is 
intimately acquainted with the many and varied requirements 
of a thoroughly efficient motor-ambulance, and many fittings 
will be added which Dr. Munro 's experience at the front 
has shown to be necessary. A great deal of trouble 
has been experienced in procuring a chassis for almost 
immediate delivery, but we have been fortunate in obtaining 
the co-operation of the Napier Co., who are doing their best 
to obtain an exemption order from the War Office, and may 
bo able to deliver in about a fortnight or three weeks. In the 
meantime, the body is being built, and, under favourable 
circumstances, the complete ambulance ought to be handed 
over to Dr. Munro within one month. 
One of the most interesting letters I have received in con- 
nection with the fund is reprinted hereunder, and I wish to 
assure the writer that his subscription is none the less welcome 
because of its size, and that it is sincerely hoped that when our 
»mbulance goes on active service, it will help in some little 
way to alleviate the sufferings of many of the brave Belgian 
soldiery, and then tlie purpose of our fund has been 
achieved.

Sir, — I learnt with much pleasure that your estimable 
magazine lias opened a subscription to provide the Belgian 
Army with a new ambulance car. I am glad to send you my 
small offering, knowing so well what it means to be without 
sufficient help for the wounded, since I was myself lying a 
whole day helpless on the battlefield. Notwithstanding their 
heroism and devotion, the stretcher-bearers — who had to carry 
the wounded right back to the ambulance train — were forced 
to leave hundreds of them exposed to the cross-fires of friend 
and foe. This is the most terrible experience that a soldir can 
be called upon to suffer, the onlj/ remedy for which is a well- 
equipped service of motor-ambulances. 
I am sure that all Belgian soldiers will feel deeply grate- 
ful to you for your great kindness in opening this subscriptiou 
list. — I am. Sir, yours faithfully, 
G. Van Vuffel, 
Sergent-Reforme du 2e de Ligne Beige. 
P.S. — I hope you will be able to read this badly-written 
letter, but, since I have lost the use of my right hand, I have 
to write with nay left one.
