Anytime I saw an ambulance, I'd wonder if it was the crew. Both the two were devoted to their jobs, and it's sad to think of them striking. Ernest Hemingway, Somerset Maugham, EE Cummings, and John Dos Passos are among the authors who served as ambulance crews during World War I. Hemingway's book A Farewell To Arms is inspired by his experiences on the Austrian-Italian frontier: like Frederic Henry, the author of the book's protagonist, Hemingway was hospitalized as a result of severe injuries in his dangerous line of work. He was just 19 years old at the time.
