Casualty Services (CS) were organised by a city's or local authority's Chief Medical Officer of Health. Under the CS were all the various medical services such as Casualty Receiving Hospitals (for serious injuries), permanent First Aid Posts (FAP - for lightly wounded; as the was developed First Aid Points were also created to alleviate pressure on hospitals), Ambulances, Mobile Units (MU - to assist at major incidents), Gas Cleansing Stations (to deal with injuries from chemical and poison weapons) and Mortuaries (both existing and temporary).

The main source will be the local archives in your area. Finding information about an individual member of the CD will prove difficult, though. The records in archives vary greatly and many do not hold any details about individuals (unless they were senior ARP members such as in local government positions, controller etc).

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
