  I don't see any Majors.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  derangedlemur That's the one, thanks. ofarrl told us a while back that it no longer exists.

• Ben Fagan said:

  Could the Major be the chap in the middle with the mustache? As I recall officers and NCOs had to have facial hair until the 1930s in the army, one man was court marshaled for shaving his off during WW1!

• Ben Fagan said:

  Ok, Captain, but not Major. Still a person of importance

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.

  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....... . .
