The 151 Light Ambulance seems to have been regularly attached to the 2nd New Zealand Division during the desert campaign. Its likely Clifford was involved in Operation Crusader, which had begun on the 18th November.
New Zealand troops crossed the Libyan frontier into Cyrenaica. Operation Crusader was an overall success for the British, and New Zealand troops withdrew to Syria to recover. The Operation Crusader campaign was the most costly the New Zealand 2nd Division fought in the Second World War, with 879 men killed, and 1,700 wounded.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Division_(New_Zealand)
On 11 November the New Zealand Division left Baggush to take up a battle position west of the Egypt–Libyan frontier. Advancing at night without lights in stages of 25–30 miles and unobserved by the enemy, the Division crossed the frontier about 50 miles south of the Mediterranean coast on 18 November. A field ambulance company was attached to each brigade group in readiness to form advanced dressing stations during the coming action.
The Division moved 14 miles to the north on the 19th and on 21 November was ordered to advance and carry out its part in the plan. Led by the Divisional Cavalry, the Division advanced northwards that night. The Divisional Cavalry captured Sidi Azeiz and established a position on the escarpment overlooking the Tobruk–Bardia road. Fifth Brigade, following immediately behind, occupied Sidi Azeiz and captured Capuzzo by dawn on the 22nd.

These were the last days of the defence of Singapore, with the actual surrender coming on the 15th. The troops were exposed to constant shelling and bombing, with little chance to assist the wounded or recover the fallen. There were also recorded instances of allied prisoners being executed as they fell into the hands of the Japanese.
