I have a photo of a relative who was in the Queen Alexandra's Nursing Corp stood with a group of soldiers outside a building with a notice that says No 61 Casualty Clearing Station. Is it possible to find out where this was. Howard.

Howard As you've seen, No.61 CCS in a lot of places, so without a date to the photo, perhaps not possible to say. But as a member of Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service, your relative will probably have a file at The National Archives, which hopefully contains form AFB103, and that will list all her postings, with dates, and enable you to identify the location. And just to add to Peter's information, No.61 was formed in July 1916, so prior to that didn't exist, and my notes show that this unit was actually divided into two divisions. It opened at Resmenil Farm, but in August 1916, while one part stayed there, becoming the area's Infectious Hospital, the other half moved to Warloy on [or about] 1st August 1916, taking over the site just vacated by 92 Field Ambulance, and stayed there until the move the following spring to Puchevillers.

Howard Please look at the photos on my website below, as you may find a likeness to some of the soldiers in your photo, alternatively send me a copy of the photo and I will try to identify the soldiers if any are RFA. I shall be attending a Royal Artillery Association meeting on the 11 Jan 2007 and will then be able to look at an Album of a C.C.S. of which I or the unit have no info, other then it was given by an ex 240 Bde members family. If your relations photo turns up within the album I will be well pleased. Regards Derek J.
