Feeding a bird at the American Ambulance Hospital

circa 1914-1916

The American Hospital of Paris, established before the outbreak of war in 1914, used the unfinished Lycée Pasteur as their military hospital (referred to as their “Ambulance”) to accommodate a larger number of patients during the war.  The American Ambulance Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine was the original location of the organization that eventually became known as the American Field Service (AFS.)
