These had the registration numbers DYR 56, DYR 57 and DYR 58. They were all soon pressed into full-time use with the outbreak of the Second World War, during which DYR 57 became one of the victims of the bombing. For much of the war, members of the Women's Auxiliary Police Corps drove the ambulances and provided the first-aid and nursing skills that were much in demand at the time. The City of London Police Ambulance Service ceased to exist on 5 July 1949 when, under the provisions of the 1946 National Health Act, the two remaining ambulances and the responsibility for the service was transferred to London County Council." source: http://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/CityPolice/About/history/policeambulances.htm -- Last edit: 2014-01-01 15:19:08
