Russian Service in Suwalki Hospital (LOC)

    Orthodox service.

    Suwalki is a town, now in Poland, close to the northeastern part of the country, near the border with Lithuania, the exclave of Russia that used to be East Prussia, and Belarus. It was the scene of fierce Eastern Front fighting between the Russians, Austrians and Germans during the spring of 1915. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suwa%C5%82ki_Region A contemporary account: www.freefictionbooks.org/books/n/3384-the-new-york-times-... That's a pretty grim hospital...

The Toll Of War Expressed in Wounds and Suffering (LOC)

    The shot of the inside of the hospital train car is what caught my eye.
  • Terry_NYorks said:
    The lower photo caption says ".......speeding towards the coast.....". It is difficult to identify the interior of the coach as to its origins, but from the interior roof line, I am surmising the coach is either French or Belgian - further research needed. Meantime I am of the view that English (plus US, South African etc) built coaches at that time had proper opening windows in the Clerestory, whilst this coach seems to be equipped with ventilators there, and also along the lower sides. Perhaps for medical reasons? Also the formers, all shaped, inside the roof are unusual. Compare with the interior views currently available from all relevant images within the Clerestory Group : click here........ . Have you anything further to confirm one way of another? The National Railway Museum (York, UK), is also using this image for their WW1 Ambulance Train exhibition (current August 2016). Based on their image, the "A" on the far wall of the coach stands for 'Ward A'. For other relevant Ambulance train photos in the Clerestory Group, so far, click here....... . .

    Original of photo from Agence Meurisse at Gallica site (Meurisse number at lower left), publ. 1914, caption: Transport de blessés à Châlons-sur-Marne Transporting injured to Châlons-sur-Marne gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b90423306
  • Arden said:
    jamica1: Thank you for the current name of this location. artolog: Thanks for finding the matching Gallica image. The Bain caption and the Agence Meurisse caption seem to agree, although the wording is different. We will add more details when we update.
