Hi Peter

That is amazing. You wouldn't happen to have the same kind of thing for the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry would you.

Default No, I don't.

I wish I did. Don't have a QOR one either. But I have an early (41?) one when they were in Sussex. Have a complete tac sign list with drawings and sizes too.

How about one for the RCHA? It'd be interesting to see what an artillery unit had.

Default Ambulances?

Peter,
I was looking for an ambulance in the list but didn't see one.Were ambulances attached to a battalion or were they called in as needed in a medical emergency?
Thanks,Derk.

Hi Peter

Sorry maybe its just me getting home from night shift, but the 1941 list you have. Was it RHLI or CH. At any rate are you able to post it up. Would be great to see. I'd assume that the tac signs would be the same for both regiments since they were both in the same division.

Thats very cool and I wish there was a list that was made for the war diaries, reading if it was sunny or not is interesting.......this is a "tad" bit more....

Default The 1941 list .....

.....is QOR. As is the Tac Sign Group. Very different from Europe.

I'll have to look for them.

Default Derk. Our Unit (QOR)...

....had a Medical Officer (Capt.) attached, who had a HUP and a driver. He also had a 15 cwt. with two drivers and his Medical Equipment and tents etc. In the Infantry Units the Band members were the stretcher bearers and medics. They did a quick patch and brought the injured man to the MO. He did a further patch and sent the troops off to Brigade either in the Unit Medical jeep, which carried three strechers or in Brigade ambulances.

The Chaplain and his team recovered the KIA for burial.

When a strecher man was killed the replacement order asked for a man with musical instrument skills. (Of course)
