Hi All, With 75th Anniversary of V.E. Day fast approaching, I was wondering if anyone knew what and where 194 Field Ambulance were on 8th May 1945? I have the History of the 15th Scottish Division, of which the 194 were part, but it does not mention 194 specifically, just that "VE day found the Division just north of the Hamburg-Lubeck Autobahn with the role of protecting the left flank of the 11th Armoured Division." Sadly the War Diary 194 Field Ambulance is not digitalized. Any info gratefully received! Wendi
They were under command 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division unfortunately no location statement for VE Day in the Divisional G Branch file held at Kew, have this for later: 194 Field Ambulance: Lieutenant Colonel Oxley 29 May 45 – Warder north-west of Lübeck 4 Jun 45 – Rohlstorf north-west of Lübeck 12 Jun 45 – Schwerin east of Lübeck 1 Jul 45 – Rohlstorf north-west of Lübeck 9 Oct 45 – disbanded A Company 29 May 45 – Klein Rönnau north-west of Lübeck B Company 29 May 45 – Warder north-west of Lübeck Hope this helps britisharmyingermany.com (under construction)
