Hello John,
Thank you for your information. After reviewing your answer to my enquiry, I
thought I should posted my query again. Now that I know some of the acronyms
from your response and reviewing my documents, it looks like he was at 5 C C
S on the 8th of Aug. before he went to # 3Aust Gen. Hsp at Abbeville on the
15 Aug. and then to Netley on the 27th of Aug.

So again I ask does anybody know what units, casualties would be taken to 5
C C S (Casualty Clearance Station) and where was this C.C.S on the above
dates?

Thanks Norm
