Royal Army Medical Corps

History

Medical services in the British military go as far back as the formation of the Regular Army after the Restoration in 1660; each regiment had its own Regimental Surgeon and Assistant Surgeon. In 1898, officers and soldiers providing medical services were incorporated into one body known by its present name, the Royal Army Medical Corps.
