Thanks! You can use the pic in your newsletter if you like.
The Army bought about 4000 of these during WW1 and sent all but a handful to France. About half were used as ambulances, and the other half as utility vehicles. None were brought back after the war, so there are no surviving examples.
I got a copy of the original contractors plans, and built the whole thing from scratch using all the original materials (oak, ash, hard board etc.). It can carry three litters in back and two ambulatory wounded in front next to the driver.
Here is another shot of the finished vehicle.
