The Removal of Wounded from the Firing Line in Mountain Warfare

Sir,?Capt. R. Kennedy's interesting article on Ambulance Transport in very difficult mountainous country lias suggested to me to make known through your columns a method for removing casualties in hilly country from the firing line. This was shewn to me by Capt. L). J Shuttleworth, who told me it has been in use in his regiment, the 3rd Gurkhas, for some years. The photograph I send illustrates the method.
