    Hi,

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

    Regards,

    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.

    Thanks very much to Von Poop and Ali for your replies.
    Please excuse my delay in thanking you but I hadn't visited this forum for a couple of months before today.

    Regards,

    Just copied the two DEFE histories of the Norwegian Campaign which contain OBs and interesting details on the evacuation - seems a but more organised than Dunkirk.
