Army Medical Services AMS Carol ServiceInformation about the Christmas Army Medical Services AMS Carol Service at the Royal Memorial Chapel in Sandhurst: Each Christmas the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) and Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Medical Corps (QARANC) hold a joint Army Medical Services (AMS) Carol Service. It is usually held in early December and is held in the evening at the Royal Memorial Chapel in Sandhurst or at the Royal Garrison Church of All Saints in Aldershot. The Colonel Commandant of the QA's will normally attend the Carol Service and the event is open to serving and retired members of the QARANC, their family and friends. The Colonel In Chief attended the 2005 Carol Service and HRH The Princess Sophie (Countess of Wessex) was the first Army Medical Services Colonel In Chief to attend an AMS Carol Service.
