All through history wherever there has been battles, conflicts and problems there has been a demand for Ambulance Stretcher. The Furley Stretcher and the Ashford Litter were the first recognised Ambulance Stretcher developed for the Saint John's Ambulance by Friend John Furley of Ashford in Kent. The Ashford Litter was a fundamental Furley stretcher fitted with wheels and a fabric cover to protect the patient and arrived to the fore all through the First World Battle.
