They managed Advanced Dressing Stations (ADS) for wounded soldiers returning from the campaigns in Greece and Crete, and supported operations in the Western Desert and the Siege of Tobruk.

Borneo Campaign (1945): Staged through Morotai to participate in the OBOE amphibious invasions. They landed at Brunei Bay and Labuan Island, advancing alongside combat units to render aid to troops and local populations until the war ended. Disbandment (December 1945): Formally dissolved after returning home to Australia. Core Themes & Content of the Book: A formal, structural history of the unit with deeply personal accounts. Key elements covered in the book include: The Medical Chain of Survival: Illuminates how field ambulance orderlies and stretcher-bearers risked their lives under fire to evacuate casualties from Regimental Aid Posts (RAP) to Main Dressing Stations. Frontline Anecdotes: Captures the raw, everyday experiences of the medics, from the blistering heat of the Western Desert to the dense, disease-ridden jungles of the Pacific. Nominal Roll: Includes a comprehensive Nominal Roll tracking the names, ranks, and service details of the personnel who served in the unit. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1778571472874

See photos for more information and synopsis. Medics At War by Len McCarthy is long out of print. Because it was a self-published or small-press military unit history printed in limited quantities (first in 1995 and a second printing in 1997 by NAM Publications), new copies are no longer produced. Because it was printed in such low numbers, it is officially classified by Australian antiquarian dealers as a "Rare & Scarce" limited print item. While the exact total print run number is not publicly recorded, Australian military unit histories of this nature from the 1990s typically had very small, tightly controlled print runs of between 200 and 500 copies per printing.
