This glass negative shows horse-drawn wagons of a U.S. Army field hospital train, a convoy that carried medical supplies and equipment with the troops. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption data kept by the Bain News Service, which photographed news subjects in the United States from about the 1900s through the 1910s. Before motor trucks became common in the Army, teams of horses and mules pulled most field transport, so pictures like this one document how military medical services moved in that era.
