No.36 Casualty Clearing Station    No.36 Casualty Clearing Station opened at Heilly in April 1916 and made a number of moves, being at Sweveghem at the Armistice. 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 August 1916  14th February 1919 Education If you can provide any additional information, please add it here.

James Lamb 7th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders My grandfather, James Lamb, from Dundee was born in May 1899 and was a Jute Factory Overseer at the time of his marriage in 1923. I believe he enlisted while under the age of 18. I possess an original certificate showing that he donated blood for transfusion at No.36 Casualty Clearing Station on 28th of October 1918. He lived to be 85. Susan Green Add to this record. 243550 Cpl. Leonard Walter Louden 3/5th Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers Leonard Louden volunteered to serve in January 1916 at Mansion House. After a short time with the Essex Regiment, he transferred to the 3/5th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers. He trained in Goojerat Barracks, Chelmsford where he rose to Lance Corporal. The Battalion was sent out to France in March 1917 and took over a stretch of the front line in Givenchy, near Festubert where they had a relatively uneventful time. Lance Corporal Louden was promoted to Corporal. In July the 3/5th were moved to Nieuwpoort on the Belgian coast where Operation Hush, a major advance was planned, but events conspired to make the attack impossible to launch. However on 28th September, Lance Sergeant Louden was wounded, probably by an exploding shell. After an operation at No.36 CCS in Zuydecoote, when he was well enough to travel, he went to Lidwells Auxiliary Hospital in Kent to recuperate. He was never fit enough to return to the front and left the Army in 1918. Mark Greenwood Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices. Links Suggest a link
