Evacuation of Invalids from Italy and Egypt

The NMHS Oranje took 702 invalids and 106 protected personnel from Italy and Egypt in July, thus relieving the hospitals of nearly all their serious cases and enabling them to reduce the numbers of equipped beds and staff. In August the HS Empire Clyde evacuated 52 invalids and 198 protected personnel of the 6th and 7th Reinforcements. The Mooltan took 97 patients in November, and other suitable cases were sent to New Zealand on transports.
