The Scottish Horse Mounted Brigade was now associated with the Australian Mounted Division Advanced Operating Unit.
Many photographs in this section were taken of the Field Ambulance at the period when considerable bombing by hostile aircraft was occurring. Most photos of the Field Ambulance were taken by Wade at Amara, and show the dispatch to Egypt of recently wounded Turkish prisoners by the Egyptian Hospital train.
Three casualty clearing stations are shown, each capable of accommodating 1000 patients. Some photographs show the CCS mobilised and parked unopened at Rafa, ready to be moved forward to Amara the day before the attack at Beersheba. (During the Egyptian Expeditionary Force campaign, importance was stressed to units that the enemy could obtain information from the grouping of medical units before fighting commenced. It was therefore customary not to erect large hospitals near the firing line until after zero). Wade was with the Field Ambulance when Beersheba was taken.
