Erik, it looks like Lt. Tobias took half the bearer sub-division off to do something. I don't know what the other half was up to at the same time.
A Field Ambulance was made up of HQ, bearer and tent sub-divisions. The bearers were exactly what they sounded like: stretcher bearers. The tent sub-division was essentially the staff who dealt with casualties at the clearing station.
