Mark and Rob. Frankly I wouldn’t know one Dodge 3/4 ton from another. Nobody told
me 50 years ago to pay attention and that they would be asking questions later on.
When I was wounded I was taken out in a Jeep Ambulance to the RAP and from there to
the CCP in the same or similar vehicle. From the CCP to 8055 MASH was in a bigger
vehicle that still only took two strechers as I remember. This could well have been a
Dodge vehicle. I don’t recall anything about the trip from MASH to the Canadian Hospital
in Seoul. From there I went to 121 Evacuation Hospital (US) in a much larger ambulance,
it took four strechers and the cab was seperate from the driving compartment. The interior
of this vehicle was quite high I was on one of the top strechers and had difficulty reaching
the roof with my hand to brace myself on the rough roads.
The RCASC web site has a number of pictures of vehicles from WWII and Korea on it.
Unfortunatelly I was not able to bring some of the ambulace pictures up. The URL below
shows the type of Jeep ambulance in service in Korea.
Rob, what is the latest on 695?
