    "English" not "Engl."

    This photo was NOT taken "circa 1910." There was no war yet in 1910. The photo was taken in 1914, after the start of WWI.

    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....... . .
