Shrapnel proof?
The sign at the rear of the body would appear to be that of the (British) 23rd Division - a Maltese Cross in a circle. The shrapnel-proofing looks like little more that wire mesh - which must have provided little reassurance to the casualties being carried. Mike

The following picture shows the fern leaf divisional insignia used by New Zealand The 2 below the fern leaf signifies the ambulance belongs to the 2nd NZ Field Ambulance. Beneath that it says that the “load is not to exceed one driver, one attendant and six patients.” (Photo courtesy of the National Army Museum of New Zealand)
