No.15 Casualty Clearing Station    No.15 Casualty Clearing Station opened at Hazebrouck in July 1915 and made a number of moves ending the war at Don. The wounded, having already had their wounds dressed at a Dressing Station would be brought to the tented hospital behind the lines, which also dealt with the sick referred to them by the Medical Officer of the man's battalion. The CCS was equipped with an operating theatre and tented wards. Those who needed further treatment would be transferred to one of the hospitals, though some were able to return to their unit after a stay at the CCS. 28th Feb 1916 Correspondence If you can provide any additional information, please add it here.
