Charterhouse alumnus searches for volunteer's Chongqing burial site

Founded in 1914, the Friends' Ambulance Unit was a volunteer service. During 1941-46 when China was involved in World War II, over 200 young people from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and other countries joined the ambulance unit and came to China to provide medical assistance to the Chinese army and civilians. Eight died in China.

It is estimated that at that time 80 percent of medical supplies to China were distributed by the ambulance unit.

But this part of history remains largely unknown to the public.
