christine liava'a Posted 9 July , 2004 Author Share Posted 9 July , 2004 the cacolet camel " The heavy sand precluded the use of the army ambulance whether motor or horse drawn, and the wounded were collected by the cacolet camel or by the sand cart, a two wheeled vehicle with broad tyres on its wheels.The cacolet was a contrivance lashed to a camel's back which carried a man on either side; but the rolling motion which accompanied the camel's gait allows of neither rest nor ease and exacts the full penalty of pain from the unfortunate occupant. Happy indeed was the man whose wound permitted him to be lashed instead to his horse." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
