GR026 - Edition 2,000
Royal Medical Army Corps
The RAMC traces its history back to the foundation of the Regular Army,
following the restoration of King Charles II in 1660, but it was not
until 1898 that officers and soldiers were incorporated into one body
known as the Royal Army Medical Corps. The RAMC motto In Arduis Fidelius
is translated as 'Steadfast in Adversity'. The 31 Victoria Crosses won
by the Corps, including a double VC and one recipient of both the VC and
the Iron Cross, bear testimony to the motto and the character and ideals
of the men and women who wear the badge.
