Add to album
This Scottish Volunteer Ambulance silver was awarded annually to the winners of the Scottish Volunteer Ambulance competition between 1904 and 1907.
The top of the trophy is formed by a representation of the human heart complete with four ventricles. Its style is typical of the influence of Art Nouveau on the decorative arts of the period.
Volunteer military ambulance units were formed in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, recruited from medical students at the universities. Stretcher-bearer companies were also organised.
