Good question! A lot of USAF WC54's were taken off the airfeilds in UK and replaced with K2's just before D-Day. RAMC did use KD64's in Korea. As to 54's in British service I can't remember seeing any. Various private agency's, notable the American Ambulabce Service did operate VC54 in teh Western Desert in support. These are two official British photos, but notice the US maedical markings. I also have a picture of a 54 converted for use by the SLUs attached to US forces.

Its likely that the WC 54 was used in India / Burma as many Dodge Weapons Carriers were used by the British and Indian Armies in that theatre.
