No.64 Casualty Clearing Station

No.64 Casualty Clearing Station opened at Mendighem in July 1917 and made a number of moves, ending the war at Dadizeelehoek. 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.
