10. Patients Sent to Field Ambulances

10. Patients Sent to Field Ambulances.

When a soldier is evacuated to a Field Ambulance, all his clothing and equipment (except ammunition) page 8should be sent down with him. This is the Quarter-master's business, but the R.M.O. may often help by reminding the Q.M. or N.C.O. immediately in charge of the patient. In the case of infectious disease, however, the R.M.O. will himself ensure that all clothing, etc., is sent down so that it may be disinfected. Small Box Respirators and P.H. Helmets must not be forgotten.
