  • Ambulance color

    Does anyone have any solid information on what color U.S. Army ambulances were painted during the war? I'm getting nowhere with my sources.

    According to the US Army Medical Museum in San Antonio, they were a dark green. This was either CW or Post-CW. I don't remember the natural colored wood one, so perhaps it was a recent addition.

      There was no regulation to army ambulances. But I have seen one surviving one that was yellow.

        Mr. Ketterl, can you provide any more information on this surviving ambulance?

        Somehow I am of the opinion that it might not be a ACW ambulance.
