"With an Ambulance During the Franco-German War" by Charles Edward Ryan is a historical account written in the late 19th century.

for Ryan's journey from Dublin to Paris, reflecting his deep desire to assist wounded French soldiers amid a war he fervently followed. He vividly describes the enthusiasm he felt as he prepared to leave his home, driven by compassion for those suffering on the battlefield. As he navigates the unfamiliar terrain of foreign cities, he encounters both excitement and obstacles in his quest to join an ambulance unit.
