Remembered Today:

Scottish Horse Brigade - Field Ambulance

I was searching the internet on the above subject and found  on the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh a collection of photographs taken by Captain Henry Wade, a surgeon with the field ambulance - apologies if everyone is aware of it but a couple of searches on here didn't bring any mentions.

 

The photographs cover the units training in the UK and then deployment to Gallipoli, Egypt and Palestine from 1914-19

 

They show training, equipment, troops, lodgings, ceremonies and a number of swimming parades both off the NE coast in the North Sea and in the Suez canal

 

The photos can be found here:  https://archiveandlibrary.rcsed.ac.uk/special-collections/henry-wade-ww1-photographic-collection

 

Hope somebody finds them interesting, 

 

My Great great Uncle was Captain William Brown who appears in a couple of photos - Capt H Wade does take the time to name a number of the NCO's and Privates who appear which is a nice change to many FWW photos

Very nice, well presented and thanks for posting. Have you been in touch with The Scottish Horse Museum at Dunkeld. I will send them a link if that's ok?

The RCS provides a link to the Dunkeld archive in the preamble to the photo collection - by the way if your are interested they have a couple of other special collections

Thank you very much for this link. Three men on a roll of honour which I am researching served with the Scottish Horse Field Ambulance. It took me a little while to think with which unit they served since the RoH gives their unit as RAMCSH.
