Hi,

137 Field Amb.
147 Fd Amb
21 Fd Hygiene Section
25 Fd Hyg Section
7 Casualty Clearing Station
22 British General Hospital

Scissorforce
A CRS (casualty reception station?) of 50 beds staff by 3 RAMC officers and 37 ORs

Sickleforce
146 Fd Amb
158 Fd amb
HQ 189 Fd Amb

From History of the Second World War United Kingdom Medical Series. The Army Medical Services, Campaigns Vol 1. by F A E Crew.

Hope this helps.

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.
