RAMC Norway 1940

Hi,

Can anyone tell me which RAMC units served in the Norwegian Campaign of April-June, 1940?

Regards,
Ron.

Not found a complete list yet, only small references,

Some info here:
212 Fd Hosp History

Snippet here:
146 Fld Amb TA Norway 1940

This book has a fair few references to Norway, particularly from page 38 onwards:
Medicine and Victory: British ... - Google Book Search
Most useful though might be the footnotes that indicate pro documents with more info on who was there.

Don't know if that helps at all.
