About this ebook
A pictorial history of the Royal Army Medical Corps’ service during World War I, featuring rare photographs from wartime archives.
The Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) supported the British Army throughout the First World War, treating sick and wounded military personnel. The military nursing services and voluntary medical personnel provided vital support to RAMC medical units and hospitals, ensuring the effective treatment of casualties.
The size of the armies, the intensity of the combat, the power of modern weaponry and the global nature of conflict meant the number of casualties proved challenging for the medical services of all combatants, including the RAMC.
A range of previously unpublished photographs, in thematic chapters considering aspects such as service in the United Kingdom, global warfare and commemoration, illustrate experiences of RAMC and medical personnel during the First World War.
The book contributes to wider understanding of the RAMC and medical services in the First World War, and will be of relevance to readers with an interest in medical, social and photographic history.

Author
Timothy McCracken
Pastor McCracken and his wife are parents of three and, as of this writing, grandparents of seven! They love children's books and reading out loud. In the Pastor's own life, the Bible's record of the foretelling of Jesus' coming was instrumental for faith and hope. God's kindness to make Christ's coming known ahead of time is the reason for this book.
