Stretchers have played a crucial role throughout history, providing aid and comfort to those in need. From the battlefields of World War I to the aftermath of natural disasters, these simple yet essential devices have saved countless lives. At an Advanced Dressing Station on the Western Front, artist Matania captured the chaotic scene as they were hurriedly brought in to transport wounded soldiers. In MAB First Ambulance Interior, we see the interior of an ambulance transformed into a temporary medical haven, with stretchers neatly arranged for maximum efficiency. During World War I, stretcher cases became a common sight among British troops stationed in Salonika and Cambrai. These brave men relied on stretchers to carry them from danger to safety amidst the chaos of war. Beyond military conflicts, they have been used in various contexts. On ocean liners like the oak open arm dining chair featured in artwork, they provided comfort during emergencies at sea. The SAI KZ-4 OY-DZU showcases how even aviation accidents necessitate their use for swift evacuation and medical attention. In times of tragedy such as after earthquakes or train disasters like that which occurred near Antwerp in Contich, stretchers become symbols of hope amid despair, and are indispensable tools utilized by rescue teams tirelessly searching for survivors or recovering bodies. Even leaders bear witness to their power; General Castelnau swore by his son's corpse while standing next to a stretcher - a poignant reminder of sacrifice and determination during wartime. Whether it be on battlefields or disaster zones, stretchers embody resilience and compassion as they serve as lifelines between life and death.
