    I have just started tagging an Ambulance Unit for the first time and am not sure about the tagging of casualties - Do I also tag casualties they treat or just the men wounded in their Unit?

    Just the men who are actually from the Unit you are tagging. Wounded men from other units will have already been counted by their own unit and if you tag them here they will be counted twice.

    Do I need to tag 'other rank' stretcher bearers that are moving to and from a Field Ambulance unit on temporary duty. The officer, usually a Captain, is not a problem because he is named, it's the large number of "other ranks" that move with the officer that I'm not sure how to deal with for tagging purposes. Thanks.

    I would say no...only tag named individuals in this case. I think providing stretcher bearers would be part of 'business as usual' for the units concerned.
