The '''Friends' Ambulance Unit''' (FAU) was a [[Volunteering|volunteer]] [[ambulance|ambulance service]], founded by individual members of the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Religious Society of Friends]] (Quakers), in line with their [[Peace Testimony]]. The FAU operated from 1914 to 1919, 1939 to 1946 and 1946 to 1959 in 25 countries. It was independent of the Quakers' organisation and chiefly staffed by registered [[conscientious objector]]s.
