The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 was a turning point in the life of Sarah Monod.

On the death of her mother in 1868, she approached the Diaconesses de Reuilly in Paris.

It is thanks to her involvement with the Diaconesses de Reuilly that she left on 3 August 1870 for the front of Forbach fifteen days after the declaration of war.

The "Monod" mobile ambulance
set up at the instigation of the Auxiliary Evangelical Committee for Relief of wounded and sick soldiers, treated more than 1,500 wounded between 3 August 1870 and 3 March 1871, including casualties of the battles of Daucourt and Beaumont.

After the defeat of Sedan, Sarah Monod went to London to raise funds and equipment, then returned to France and the ambulance to treat victims of the campaign of the Loire.
On 2 July 1871 she was awarded a Bronze Cross for her service and as an Ambulance Inspector.

A few months later, she brought aid to more wounded, those of the Paris Commune, regardless of which side they were on.
