Yes. Baron Larrey was a bit of an enlightened thinker, he developed triage too.

In the Ruusian service there were лазаретные повозки / lazaretnye povozki / hospital wagons. One per battalion in 1812, for example, with a dedicated driver. I do not know of these as "ambulances" in the French concept. I had thought of them more as wagons for the transport of the supplies and equipment to support the battalion doctor. Perhaps another colleague will confirm my understanding? Chuvak
