A vehicle marked "A.R.C." (the American Red Cross) stands in a shelled Italian town near the front, a detail that sets this picture apart from scenes of Italian ambulances on the same front. Caption tracings also point to camouflage, a common precaution in the Italian campaign, where screens and netting were strung over roads and buildings to hide movement from enemy observers. American Red Cross ambulance and relief work in Italy expanded during the later war years, and the photograph shows how medical transport had to operate in the damaged streets close to the lines. The date is given only as a range, 1914 to 1918, and the caption data is unverified.
