Irish Times Thursday 03 December 1914:

 

COUNTY LOUTH MOTOR AMBULANCE FUND

 

    It has been suggested that a Motor Ambulance for the front should be provided by County Louth and that funds for this splendid object would be collected without delay, as these ambulances are most urgently needed to convey our wounded soldiers from the battlefield to the hospitals.

    A Motor Ambulance fully equipped and ready for the front costs £400. Any subscriptions received over this amount would go towards running expenses (£8-£10 a week), and would thus ensure the motor ambulance being sent out more speedily.

    The undersigned, therefore, hope that County Louth will respond generously and quickly to this appeal. The smallest subscription will be gratefully received. All subscriptions will be acknowledged in the local Press and Irish Times.

CO. LOUTH AND DUNDALK MOTOR AMBULANCE FUND.

 

    The Committee of the County Louth Motor Ambulance Fund (having joined with a Committee of the town of Dundalk, who had started a similar fund) beg to return grateful thanks to all subscribers who, by their generous help, have enabled the Committee to close their subscription list with the total of £624 17s 6d. A "Sunbeam" Motor Ambulance has been ordered, and will leave shortly for the front. 

M.M.J. Bellew, President.
