Caption "Between the crashing of big shells on the British front along the Somme, Tommies were called to aid in the extricating of a field ambulance from the river of mud into which it had been driven. A photographer who happened to be passing by snapped the soldiers as they pushed the heavy motor truck out of the sticky mass. The picture was made under shell fire and all the men were in danger as they worked to get the ambulance on solid ground. The picture gives a good idea of the difficulties under which medical aid is given the wounded man in modern warfare."
