andrew pugh Posted 10 June , 2019 Share Posted 10 June , 2019 Good Evening I have a question and hope someone can help. Private 74455 Humphries Frederick Thomas was killed on the 24/03/1918. He belonged to the Royal Army Medical Corps, but was attached to the 2nd Battalion Ox & Buck's Light Infantry when he was killed.What I am trying to find out if he was a R A M C man did he have any connection with the 77th Field Ambulance before being attached to the Ox & Buck's Light Infantry.Because when he first signed up to the R A M C he must have been sent to a specific unit within the R A M C, if that makes sense.I look Forward to your replies.
