The 10th infantry battalion was one of 4 bns in the 2nd infantry brigade, which was one of 3 bdes in the 1st Can Div. You'ld have to buy is service record to see exactly when he was wounded, and who looked after him. There's info on buying this at: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-130-e.html
However, in general, each battalion established a Regimental Aid Post supervized by the bn MO. The bn provided stretcher bearers who brought the wounded back to the RAP. From the RAP, the Field Ambulance Coys got the wounded back to the Casualty Clearing Stations, maybe 5-15m further back. They often had to cary them from the RAP to the trailhead, although there might be a tramway sometimes. At the trailhead, they were loaded onto ambulances, usually lorries, but often horse-drawn. They might have help from the support bns of the brigade in carrying. The CCSs weren't necessarily Canadian - in fact they usually weren't. Maybe not in 1916, but certainly by 1917, the CCSs began to develop their own areas of expertize, and once on a lorry, there was maybe a choice of 3-4 CCSs: one maybe specialized in gassings, another in abdominal wounds, another in gun shot wounds, etc - so a stabalized casualty could be put on a lorry to the best CCS for him. Once the CCS had patched him up so he was fit for travel, he'ld be sent to a hospital - there were several around Boulogne - and, if necessary, shipped back to the UK. Obviously, your Wm didn't go thru all this.
Just as a sample, here's a couple of pages from the 1st Fld Amb Coy WD for Sept 1916 http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/e/e062/e001535108.jpg http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/e/e062/e001535109.jpg
The 1st Can Div had 3 Fld Amb Coys - 1st, 2nd & 3rd - lacking his service record, I don't know which took your Wm to the CCS.
