New Zealand Medical Services in Middle East and Italy

Transport

Transport

When the troops arrived from Greece there were eight motor ambulances available in Crete, six being attached to 189 Field Ambulance and two to the Royal Air Force. Later, some more ambulance cars were landed, making eleven all told for the medical units on the island.

Ordinary lorry transport was in even shorter supply and so could not be used to make up for the shortage of ambulances. Each field ambulance had to rely on one 15-cwt truck and had great difficulty in arranging for the transport of patients, which had to be carried out in relays.
