During the Second World War, wounded soldiers were carried off the battlefield on a stretcher to be treated at a Regimental Aid Post. They would then be transferred by stretcher bearers or a suitable vehicle to a Casualty Clearing Station via motorised ambulance. Then onto hospital via either: motorised transport, train, aircraft or hospital ship.

The 1060 Kgs American designed Willys MB was utalised between 1939 - 1945. The 4 wheel drive, all- terrain vehicle was effective as it had the ability to accommodate up to 4 injured soldiers as stretcher cases and remove them from the battlefield quickly.
