Sgt. Fred Simpson 146th Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps My grandfather Fred Simpson was in 146 Field Ambulance as a territorial in 1937 and went to war with them. The 4 tapes held by the Imperial War Museum give an amazing amount of details of 146th's first few years of the war. He served at the 30th General Hospital in Britain and Iceland and also 32nd Casualty Clearing Station.

Capt. John Edward Roberts 146 Field Ambulance Army Dental Corps I believe my father, John Roberts was in 146th Field Ambulance attached to the Hallamshires with 146th Brigade, 49th West Riding Division and went ashore on D-Day+2 on an American TLC and shortly afterwards the whole Division was, I believe, co-opted to the Canadian Army and advanced with them through France, Belgium and Holland. Ending up at Nijmegen. I was also informed that his unit relieved one of the German concentration camps.He also related a tale whilst in Normandy of a British fighter, possibly a Spitfire, being shot down by nearby friendly fire and crashing in the field, extremely close to their marquees and ambulances. My father survived the war and set up a dental practice in Lymington, Hampshire in 1946. He retired in 1971 and after the death of his wife in 1991 came to live with us in Jersey till his death in 2000. Would it be possible to verify some of these details? My son and grandson are very interested in Pop's exploits because, as with many ex-servicemen,they are very reticent about many of the unpleasant memories.
