Blood and Bandages – Fighting for life in the RAMC Field Ambulance 1940-1946 – Book Signings by authors Liz Coward and William Earl
William Earl was a 26 year old Chemist’s Assistant when his call up papers arrived and his life changed forever. Joining the 214th Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps as a Nursing Orderly William’s role was no soft posting. He was assigned to the Field Ambulance, so followed the infantry into battle to treat and recover the wounded, often under fire, before removing them from danger. Seeing action in North Africa and throughout the entire Italian campaign at places such as Salerno, Anzio and the Gothic Line William recalls his experiences in detail with the emotion of someone who lost many friends and was the last comforting voice to many a dying soldier.
