Army Medical Service Museum

Formal medical support to the Army began in 1660 and veterinary support almost one hundred years later but it was another 200 years before there was a uniformed military nursing service.

The museum has a varied collection of textiles and uniforms dating from 1850 to the present.

They have an interesting collection of medical equipment, some of which is textile based and shows the development of medical techniques and equipment, especially during the 20th century.

As part of the collection they also have various sports caps worn by members of the RAMC and a running vest worn during the 1952 Olympics by Captain Roger Bannister, RAMC.
