This treatise recalls some history of the 100 Years of the Q.A.T.B with anecdotes of the life of an Ambulance Officer in the earliest days of "A dashing white horse and Ambulance sulky" through their changing roles over the years to Aerial retrievals, the introduction of intravenous infusion and the digital age. It outlines the development of the Ipswich Emergency Care System. The narrative continues with details of the establishment of the Queensland Ambulance Service from the Committee system in 1991. It includes a brief on qualifications and medical techniques over the next 25 years to 2016 with accounts of Emergency Cases. A 'must read' on this Queensland Emergency Service.
