Alright today is British Vounteers: Ambulance Drivers!
by Stevenson, McFarquhar & Scottish Ambulance Unit.

(Article)

There's two British doctors. You don't really hear about the second one but one of them is Len Crome. He was told by Harry Pollitt (Secretary General of the CPGB) to join the Scottish Ambulance Unit because he wanted to help the cause in Spain.

So then he went to Stevenson's home because Stevenson was organizing the group and turns out he's Sir Stevenson, with a grand house, butlers, the whole amazingness. So the guy takes him on and Crome tells his brother to tell his parents that he was "going on a prestigious medical expedition to Central Africa for a few months). I thought this was the most interesting part because we heard how people would make up stories to get away to France.

Anyways then Crome meets this person named Miss Jacobson who is "wishy washy" with politics and he then found her distributing food donated by the Spanish workers for the Spain Republic to right wing Madrilenos who took refuge at the British embassy. Deceit 1! Then he also found out that Captain Christo Lance, known as the "Spanish Pimpernel" was bandaging Franco supporters and smuggling them to Valenica so they could get out of Republic Spain. Basically 4 members of the Scottish Ambulance Unit were accused of robbing corpses on the battlefield also!

So Crome gets fed up with the deceivery (sp?) and decides to join the Lincoln Bridgades and Ms. J gets very mad and tells him he must meet with the British consul but when the consul comes back, he smiles at Crome and says it's perfectly fine and thanks for all the work he did.


It's a happy ending.
