Grouping of CCSs

This grouping of units had been done at Alamein and it was also arranged at Mareth and Akarit with great success. Sorting was done by a field ambulance—the sick were sent to one CCS and the seriously wounded to two others in rotation, the lightly wounded being attended to at the field ambulance and then sent on to the Army CCS centre further back. This plan was also adopted by First Army.
