Wounded Treated

Circumstances were such that it was difficult to arrive at an accurate figure for the total number of wounded (New Zealand, British, South African, and enemy) treated by the Division's medical units, but the following figures taken from unit returns at the time are fairly correct:

4 Fd Amb	740
5 Fd Amb	750
6 Fd Amb	1010
Mob Surg Unit	160
	——
Total	2660

Of these 2660 cases, approximately 1650 were New Zealand casualties.¹
