The Austin K2/Y Ambulance was used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces during World War II, both in the various theaters of war and on the home front.
Built around the chassis of the Austin K30 light truck, the casualty compartment was developed in conjunction with the Royal Army Medical Corps and therefore proved highly functional.
The K2/Y could carry either four stretchers or ten seated casualties. One of the main reasons for the K2/Y's success was that it was so robust and reliable and required minimal maintenance - an ambulance should always be ready when you need it.
The rear cabin was typically painted canvas on a wooden frame, with the highly visible red cross on a white disc prominently positioned on all sides to ensure the vehicle's occupants did not come under fire.
The Austin K2/Y was an extremely popular vehicle with British, Commonwealth and American troops.
With over 13,000 examples built, this would be a familiar sight on battlefields around the world.
