Note that this ambulance has no white star on the door. Ambulances were originally intended by the Geneva and Hague accords to be vehicles of mercy without being on one side of the conflict or the other. For this reason, the accords stated that ambulances should be marked with the “Geneva Cross” (red cross on white background) and without national markings. The WC54 ambulance were shipped from the factories marked this way but quite often, once they arrived in-theater, the motor pools marked them with white stars on the doors & hood, just like all other GI vehicles.
