Army Medical Services Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Army Medical Services Museum is located in the Defence Medical Services Training Centre, Keogh Barracks, on Mytchett Place Road, Mytchett, Surrey, England. It moved into its present building in 1982. The museum presently houses the collections of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) and Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps (QARANC) with some of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC). The Royal Army Dental Corps (RADC) collection is presently housed in another location in Aldershot and is closed to the public.

The collections on display include uniforms and insignia, medical, dental and veterinary equipment, ambulances, an ambulance train ward coach, a carriage used by Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War and a large medal collection including 23 of the 29 Victoria Crosses awarded to the Army Medical Services.
