During the early stages of WW2 there was a real fear in Britain that Germany would use gas during their air raids. Here, British soldiers from the RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) undergo anti-gas suit training - England 1940 #ww2 #worldwar2 #england #greatbritain #ramc #royalarmymedicalcorps #gasmask

I was curious about Dr Ian Mackenzie, the first #RAMC surgeon who parachuted into #Yugoslavia to lead a #SOE medical mission there, with Operation Typical, during the #SWW. A brave man. https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1935835/pdf/canmedaj01193-0051.pdf
#Herbaria are not just about #plants but also about #history. #CuratorLife is also about learning about collectors. Today, I solved the mystery of a collector from India, "Col. R.S. Vine". It's Roland Stephen Vine (1910-2003). He was with the #RAMC, the Royal Army Medical Corps, and stationed in India between 1936 and 1939. That's when we have his collections from India from. But he also collected in the UK and Greece but those collections are in Kew #Herbarium.
I am trying to identify two British #RAMC sergeants who accompanied Major Colin Scott Dafoe into eastern Bosnia in May 1944: Chris Real (7371113) and Frank Oxley (service no unknown). Real later went to Malaysia with #SOE. Oxley is the greater mystery. Was his name Frank, Francis? Was that his first or middle name? What happened to him after 1944? If anyone has ideas about how I can positively identify these two fellows, please let me know.
@militaryhistory #OTD in 1909, Colin Scott Dafoe was born in Madoc, Ontario. While serving with the #RAMC in North Africa, he volunteered for “a dangerous mission to the Balkans” and in May 1944 parachuted into eastern Bosnia to lead a #SOE medical unit supporting Tito’s Partisans.
