Danish Army 109 Marshall Ambulance.
The Danish Army's one Marshall of Cambridge ambulance: a Series III 109-inch, registration 51.352, with the two- or four-stretcher Marshall body in plain olive, red-cross panels on the sides and roof, white tactical crosses on the body corners and a spare on the bonnet, used at Oksbøl Training Area from the early 1980s.

The record
Marshall of Cambridge built the standard military ambulance body on the long-wheelbase Land Rover for the British Army — a tall, square-cornered box on the 109-inch chassis with a curved roof, twin rear doors and room for two or four stretchers according to need — and the same body was supplied to the Netherlands Army and, in one instance, to Denmark. The Danish Army Vehicles Homepage records this vehicle, 51.352, as the only Marshall ambulance the Danish Army purchased, in service at the Oksbøl Training Area in west Jutland from the early 1980s, where a large ranges complex needed a proper field ambulance on hand.
The photograph, by Kim Hartvig Sørensen of Aarhus, shows it on a Series III 109 with the plastic Series III grille, a spare wheel on the bonnet and the Marshall body behind the standard cab: plain olive drab overall rather than the later three-colour camouflage, red crosses on white panels on the body sides and on the front of the roof, small white tactical crosses at the body's corners, the registration stencilled on the wings and carried on a black plate, and a bare steel front bumper with stacked bumperettes at each end. No beacon is fitted. Its engine, the date it was bought and its fate are not stated in the source.

The Series IIA 109-inch Marshall ambulance body is shared by the army ambulance,
Meteor Works (Fan Favourites), and RAF Crash Rescue variants. The shared shell has
an extended rear overhang, a broad low roof with rounded eaves, high side windows,
paired rear doors, and a closed angled lower rear panel sweeping upward behind
the rear wheel. The additional `images.jpeg` rear photograph establishes the
full-width sloping panel, central folded hatch, recessed paired lamps and lower
round reflectors; no deployed horizontal step is shown. Preserve these common body features when adding further liveries.
RAF Crash Rescue uses the user-supplied TRP 291G photographs: dark blue body,
yellow roof, waist stripes and bumper, white/red medical panels, CRASH RESCUE
brow lettering, ROYAL AIR FORCE side lettering, amber roof beacon, paired blue
front lamps, aerials and an outboard searchlight. Listed under UK military and
