Anzac War Relief Ambulances

Towards the end of June ten ambulances provided by the Anzac War Relief Committee of New York arrived in Egypt. They were suitable only for base duties, but they filled a long-felt want, especially in Maadi Camp, where transport for medical requirements had been a harassing matter ever since 4 Field Ambulance had moved out with its transport in September 1940. All camp and hospital work had had to be done with two to four ambulances only.
