173rd Field Ambulance was one of the divisional units of the British 70th Infantry Division. It appears to have been broken up with the rest of the Division as part of the build up of the Chindits for operations in 1944. Steve
CMH is Combined Military Hospital and Gaya appears in this thread: Field Ambulances in India 1942 - 1945 Nowt on this forum for No.7 Casualty Clearing Station's location. Might this help: Bado Arthur James Although this helps with British General Hospitals, not CCS, it might help; chose WW2 Hospitals: Hospitals WW2 - Scarlet Finders
A quick search at Kew suggests there may be 5 or 6 diaries for 7 CCS although it's not clear if all are relevant and the date of interest in August 44 doesn't seem to be covered in those I would consider worth investigating
