The record
Marshall of Cambridge built the standard military ambulance body on the long-wheelbase Land Rover for the British Army — a tall, square-cornered box on the 109-inch chassis with a curved roof, twin rear doors and room for two or four stretchers according to need — and the same body was supplied to the Netherlands Army and, in one instance, to Denmark. The Danish Army Vehicles Homepage records this vehicle, 51.352, as the only Marshall ambulance the Danish Army purchased, in service at the Oksbøl Training Area in west Jutland from the early 1980s, where a large ranges complex needed a proper field ambulance on hand.
The photograph, by Kim Hartvig Sørensen of Aarhus, shows it on a Series III 109 with the plastic Series III grille, a spare wheel on the bonnet and the Marshall body behind the standard cab: plain olive drab overall rather than the later three-colour camouflage, red crosses on white panels on the body sides and on the front of the roof, small white tactical crosses at the body's corners, the registration stencilled on the wings and carried on a black plate, and a bare steel front bumper with stacked bumperettes at each end. No beacon is fitted. Its engine, the date it was bought and its fate are not stated in the source.
