Work of Medical Units

The brigaded ADSs were kept busy attending to patients and changing locations frequently as the advance continued. Evacuation of patients from RAP to ADS was by Humber ambulance cars and jeeps, and from ADS to MDS by Austin ambulance cars. The drivers of the ambulances and jeeps with the battalions did excellent work under conditions which were very trying, and sometimes had to bring the wounded out through enemy mortar fire.
