    The story of the development of the ambulance is intertwined with warfare. From the days of the Roman legions to today's far-flung military there has been a pressing need to quickly move the wounded from the battlefield. While most of us take for granted the EMS vans that patrol our streets, without the foresight of those driven by the horrors of war we would not have these modern ambulances racing to our doors.
