No.37 Casualty Clearing Station    No.37 Casualty Clearing Station opened at Avesnes in April 1916 and made a number of moves, including a spell in Italy, being at Busigny 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. 5th Feb 1916 Field Allowance 25th Feb 1916 Heavy Snow If you can provide any additional information, please add it here.

Bernard Dudley Bailey 23rd Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery (d.20th July 1917) Bernard Bailey was a postman in the town of Hythe, Kent when the War started. He entered military service in April 1916. He had been serving in the R.G.A with the British Expeditionary Force for some months before being called to fight for King and Country. July 1917, Bernard was a Medical Orderly in the battery and was affected by gas in attending to two men who were wounded by a gas shell. He was admitted to hospital, 37th Casualty Clearing Station in France. On the 20th July Germans bombed the hospital, killing Bernard Bailey, Sister Elise Margaret Kemp and 5 others. Bernard left behind his wife and 2 year old son, he is buried in Godewaersvelde British Cemetery, Nord, France. I am so proud to call this man my Great Granddad. Christina Bailey Add to this record. 174844 Pte. Joseph Edwin Halls C Coy. 33rd Btn. I was trying to research my grandfather who died at Arras in 1917 and I found his brother Joseph who was born in London, emigrated and then joined the Australian Imperial force in 1916. I am amazed that Joseph survived the WW1 as he had a shrapnel wound to the head, an infected foot and had been gassed twice. Possibly some dysentry as well as he did have symptoms. He was hospitalised a few times and was also hospitalised in England 1st Southern General Hospital Birmingham. and eventually was medically discharged as being unfit in 1919. I wondered about this man, did he ever marry, he was single when he joined up and only his father and sister in England as next of kin. I wondered if there were any children. Surely a man who fought in this terrible war deserved companionship. Again I was amazed, further research showed that Joseph had joined the army again in 1930 and giving a false younger age. This time he had a wife as a next of kin and it appears they married in the same year as being discharged. That made me feel happy. I still don't know if there were any children though. It seemed he lived until 1950 and died at age 66. Susan Horton Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices. Links Suggest a link
