Nineteen-year-old Ernest Hemingway served as a volunteer Red Cross ambulance driver during World War I. He was gravely wounded only a few months after his arrival in Europe; his recovery in a Milanese hospital and his relationship with his nurse, Agnes von Kurowsky, inspired his 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms.
