i lived on the whitchurch road, it was 1944 and i looked towards the viaduct which was the southern railway and saw an ambulance train, red crosses on every carriage, i was 11 at the time and watched as they unloaded the wounded from the carriages and put them into the ambulances to be taken to a military hospital at Plaister Down, near Whitchurch. I think at the time the weather was snowy. As an 11 year old it all seemed very exciting. After the war Plaister Down was made into a camp and housed territorials for several years afterwards. It's been pulled down now.
