1st Canadian Casualties Clearing Station

[alain dubois]

Hi,

I'm seeking for a piece of map 36b, exactly squares 36b H 9 cd. In April 1918 1st Canadian Casualties Clearing Station began work between Pernes and Sains les Pernes. War Diary give coordinates, for a precise location the map will be a precious help.

Have you checked Sir Andrew MacPhail's OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE CANADIAN FORCES IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914-19: THE MEDICAL SERVICES, Ottawa, King's Printer, 1925?

Cheers,

The website includes eighteen direct photostats of documents, dated 13th. July 1923 which were sent from the Ministry of Pensions to the British Red Cross Society Records Office. Theses typed pages give the names of the locations, in alphabetical order, dates and positions of the various Hospitals or Casualty Clearing Stations on the Western Front for the British Expeditionary Force. The names of these medical units are as follows: Bac-Du-Sud-La to Boisleux-au-Mont, Bonn to Bussy - Le- Chateau. Calais to Chocques.

Hi,

Yes, I know (quite all), but 1st CCCS War Diary begins near Pernes on April 7, 1918 (page of W/D ), with this precise location : 36b H 9 cd, and I'm just seeking for an abstract of that map, along Pernes to Sains road.
