Description
The Royal Army Medical Corps in the Great War: Rare Photographs from the Wartime Archives By Timothy McCracken During World War I, the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) played a vital role in treating sick and wounded military personnel. The RAMC also handled sanitation responsibilities, with the support of military nursing services and voluntary medical personnel. However, the sheer scale of casualties posed significant challenges for medical services across all combatants. Innovative solutions were needed to address these challenges, such as the use of barges for evacuating seriously wounded patients. This book presents a range of previously unpublished photographs that illustrate experiences of RAMC and medical personnel during the First World War. Organized into thematic chapters, the images shed light on aspects of service in the UK, global warfare, and commemoration. This book contributes to our understanding of the RAMC and medical services in the First World War, making it a valuable resource for those interested in medical, social, and photographic history.
