  • L'Ambulance Hadfield-Spears ou Hadfield-Spears Ambulance Unit, en abrégé HSAU, est une unité médicale franco-anglaise mise en place pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et composée de médecins, infirmiers et personnels sanitaires volontaires. Attachée dans un premier temps à la 4e armée française, l'unité soutient les troupes lors de la bataille de France avant d'être contrainte de se replier vers le sud. Parvenant à atteindre Bordeaux, elle rejoint l'Angleterre où elle est réorganisée et rééquipée pour être intégrée aux forces françaises libres sous l’appellation d'Hôpital Mobile no 3. L'ambulance Hadfield-Spears participe à toutes les grandes campagnes de la 1re division française libre, du Moyen-Orient à l'Italie en passant par l'Afrique du nord, avant de prendre part à la libération de la France. L'unité est finalement dissoute à la fin de la guerre. (fr)
