Pte. Abraham Hill Lord
British Army 10th Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps
from:Whitworth, Lancashire
My grandfather 8221 A H Lord RAMC was sent back from France sick, but not wounded, in Oct 1916. Probably gassed. Reclassified C2. Transferred to RAMC Prov Company Aldershot then Blackpool. Transferred to 362 Reserve Employment Company. Given new Army No. 251473. Reclassified B1 Aug 1917. Sent back to France. Then to 236 Divisional Employment Company, 39 Divn, Varangeville.
I am trying to establish when he went to Varangeville, probably Mar 1918, and when he was demobilised, probably mid Jan 1919. I have some notes he made about pay. The amount he was due in Sterling (old pence)and the amount he had already drawn, in Francs. From 22 Mar 1918 to 10 Jan 1919 304 days at 1/- (12d) which would be army pay, probably from when he was posted to Varangeville, but he also records an additional 304 days at 4d and a further 150 days at 4d.
I feel that these sums may give a clue to dates. Was the extra 4d per day anything to do with his good conduct stripe or was it for some other reason.

James Lord served with the KRRC, I am looking for a photograph of No 11 General Hospital, Camiers at about end of April 1917.
Rfm. James Lord
British Army 20th Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps
I have been piecing together such information as I have been able to find about my father's time in the KRRC during WW1. 13051 Rifleman James Lord 20th Battalion KRRC, volunteered 27th of May 1915 and was injured 26th of April 1917. The 20th Batallion, KRRC was the pioneeer batallion of the 3rd Division at that time.
He was injured during a short interlude between two battles. There were only two men killed that day both, I think, in the same battalion so he must have been on pioneeer work at the time when he was injured by a high explosive shell somewhere in the vicinity of Monchy-le-Preux east of Arras. Possibly on road repairs on the Arras to Cambrai Road.
Due to repositioning of forces, he was picked up by a Scottish Division and taken to W15 ADS, 47th Field Ambulance and thence presumably to a CCS. This must have been where his leg was amputated since there is an interlude of three weeks before he arrives at No.11 General Hospital, Camiers on 13 May 1917. This hospital was handed over to the Americans, presumably after evacuation of patients, two weeks later. So probably his move to Camiers was awaiting repatriation and his stay must have been less than those remaining two weeks.
What I do not know, and would be grateful if anyone could tell me, or point me in the right direction, is the whereabouts of the CCS. From the Hospitals and CCSs WW1 website I think I have narrowed it down to three places which were within reasonable reach of Arras and the dates when they were operational. In order of distance from Arras they are, CCS 8 or 41 Agnez-les-Duisans, CCS 24 or 30 or 42 Aubigny-en-Artois, CCS 45 or 49 Achiet-le-Grand.
I also have a photograph of him in what is obviously a makeshift hospital ward which may be Camiers or in UK, but I have not yet been able to find that out. The photograph is mounted on card and is obviously by a professional photographer.
