One of the convalescent wards in the American Ambulance Hospital showing French officers nearly recovered, doctors, and nurses

1915

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.)
