Work of the Ambulance Cars

There was an ample supply of ambulance cars attached to our medical units during this period. They were boldly and courageously used in the field for the collection of wounded, passing through the lanes in the minefields to clear the RAPs, as well as collecting cases to carry to the RAP. They worked at night guided by the lights along the tracks. Except for some delay at the medical centre on the first day of the battle, evacuation worked smoothly and efficiently in spite of the large numbers dealt with. The AFS drivers were, as usual, assiduous in their work.
