130th (St John) Field Ambulance at Mametz Wood

Commemorations are continuing for the 100th anniversary of the Somme.

The efforts of the 130th (St John) Field Ambulance unit to help their countrymen during the battle for Mametz Wood were largely over-looked.

Here, Oliver Young talks of his experience at the battle.
