Originally published in 1995 by NAM Publications in Fremantle, Western Australia, the book documents the extensive, frontline medical service of the 2/13th Australian Field Ambulance during the Second World War. This specialized unit was part of the volunteer Second Australian Imperial Force (2nd AIF) and provided critical, forward-line casualty triage and treatment across multiple global theatres of war. Unit Overview & Timeline Formation (November 1940): Raised in Northam, Western Australia. Middle East & North Africa (1941–1942): Deployed to Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. 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. Home Defence & Darwin (1943–1944): Recalled to Australia due to the Pacific outbreak. They were stationed 30 miles south of Darwin to provide medical care and operate a rest camp at Berry Springs. 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.…
