airborne medic will become famous soon enough
Tenth and I have been pm'ing on various things including the 10ths RAP at Arnhem but thought the froum might like to share the 'official war establishment' for a parachute battalion - i.e. attached RAMC personnel:
Headquarters - 1 Medical Officer, 1 Sergeant and 1 Nursing Orderly (private)
HQ Company 1 Corporal and 3 NO's
Each Rifle Company 1 Corporal and 3 NO's

This makes a total of 1 Officer, 1 Sergeant, 4 Corporals and 13 NO's....total 19...
Presumably Support Company fended for itself!
