A group of nurses from the London & Yorkshire Railway's ambulance train on exhibition in Wigan, November 1917.
The ambulance trains performed a vital function during the First World War by transporting the wounded back from the battlefields of Europe. By this time America had entered the war and the nurses carry Union Flags and 'Old Glory'.
