Last Minute Edexcel GCSE History of Medicine advice needed!

It's a few days to the exam now, and I'm still confused on how to answer those Western Front enquiry questions (especially the follow up one) and wondered if anyone could offer me some advice for how to do them :,). In the past they've seriously weighed down my grade for this particular paper so anything would be appreciated lol.

the source you should almost ALWAYS use is "RAMC records" - UNLESS it talks about nurses or ambulances, in which case you should use FANY records. In both cases, add a specific detail, such as records *from a Base Hospital" or whatever. The "how it would help" just needs to clearly explain - for example, Base Hospitals were the last point on the evacuation route, so their records would have recorded exactly how many soldiers were returned to England. I'm not really sure how to advise on the first two questions, but I would try to be specific while not digging yourself into a hole.
