Army Standard - QARANC Association Standard and QA Branch Standards


Photographs of the QARANC Association Standard with a history of the QA Standard


The Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps Standard is housed at the Garrison Church in Aldershot, Hampshire. This QARANC Association Standard depicts the badges of the former British Army Nursing Services over the centuries. These include the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS) and its Reserves, the Territorial Army Nursing Service (TANS ) and the QARANC.

Major Judy Evans, the Regimental Secretary of the QARANC Association, has kindly supplied the photographs of the QARANC Association Standard below:
