Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Canadian Army. Canadian Casualty Clearing Station, no. 2 : No. 2 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station (CCS) was organized in Toronto in February 1915 under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel G.S. Rennie. Its authorization was published in General Order 36 of 15 March 1915. Among its recruits were 22 recent medical graduates, two dental graduates and 17 medical students in their fourth or fifth year of study. "This ...was shown to be inadvisable since, (a) within one month after landing in England, all the graduates were given commissions in the RAMC, (b) the remaining students were returned to Canada... to finish their course after being with the unit about six months."

No. 2 CCS embarked at Halifax 18 April 1915 aboard NORTHLAND, disembarking in England on 29 April 1915. Its strength was 8 officers and 75 other ranks. While in England it was attached to the Moore Barracks Military Hospital, Shorncliffe. No. 2 CCS arrived in France on 17 September 1915. No. 2 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station ceased operations on 7 February 1919, was demobilized at Toronto in April 1919, and was disbanded by General Order 211 of 15 November 1920. In collaboration with No. 3 CCS, it published "The CCS Review" in January and March 1918.
