Battlefield Ambulance Escapes Frontline Peril in Belfort Hills
An Army medical unit describes a six day mission to a hill held by French Forces of the Interior near Rupt within the Belfort area. The crew faced near forty five degree slopes, rain and constant shelling while carrying wounded and a dead man. They refused to bury the dead at the base to aid living patients, and endured harsh weather with minimal gear until relief arrived.
