What was a CCS?
Until 9 January 1915 these units were known as Clearing Hospitals.
The Casualty Clearing Station was part of the casualty evacuation chain, further back from the front line than the Aid Posts and Field Ambulances. It was manned by troops of the Royal Army Medical Corps, with attached Royal Engineers and men of the Army Service Corps. The job of the CCS was to treat a man sufficiently for his return to duty or, in most cases, to enable him to be evacuated to a Base Hospital. It was not a place for a long-term stay.
Stretcher cases awaiting transport to a Casualty Clearing Station lie on the ground outside a dressing station at Blangy, during the Battle of Arras in April 1917. The building being used as a dressing station is badly pockmarked by shell damage and has no windows or doors. Several vehicles are making their way towards the station. In the background, damaged trees and more devastated buildings can be seen. On the right, a horse-drawn vehicle is also just visible. Image Q6195 courtesy of the Imperial War Museum, with my thanks.
CCS’s were generally located on or near railway lines, to facilitate movement of casualties from the battlefield and on to the hospitals. Although they were quite large, CCS’s moved quite frequently, especially in the wake of the great German attacks in the spring of 1918 and the victorious Allied advance in the summer and autumn of that year. Many CCS moved into Belgium and Germany with the army of occupation in 1919 too. The locations of wartime CCSs can often be identified today from the cluster of military cemeteries that surrounded them.
