To NAVAL OF FICER IN CHARGE
RAMSGATE
Submitted
Report on the Medical Organisation at Ramsgate Naval
Base during the evacuation of the B.E.F. from the
French coast.
In such an emergency a basis of procedure had to be rapidly improvised and modified according to circumstances. Collaboration between the Naval. medical personnel and the RAMC was essential and after the first day was found to be working smoothly and efficiently.
The suggestion that the floor of the Merrie England base should be used as & Clearing Station was supported by the NOIC, and traffic from the eastern pier head
ATO
was so organised. Very little delay was found in rapidly clearing the wounded from ships as they berthed.
tels
Smaller boats were dealt with at the Dover steps further down. A naval and military doctor was always available at the pier head for some time before and after high led tide at which time many of the larger vessels entered the harbour. A pier head rallying point was established for medical personnel, and here stocks of dressings, stretchers and medical essentials were kept.
Transport in the form of ambulances Military, ARP, and
St.John's was always available and ample. I would
