There is a photograph below. The belt colours of the QARANC corps belt is a horizontal white, scarlet and a dark blue stripe. As with most UK stable corp belts it is steeped in history and once researched we will include the origins and history of the QARANC stable corps belt.

It has the QARANC buckle but not the scarlet, white and blue colours of the QAs belts. I suspect that it was for a member of the army dental services. Junior female ranks were members of the QARANC until the army medical services reforms in the late 1990s. So although they served with the RADC (Royal Army Dental Corps) they were members of the QARANC, trained at the QA Centre and followed the pay and rank structure of the QAs. Can anyone help with any info please? If so please e-mail me QA Trade Belts Each specialist qualification member of the QA had their own trade belt. So the green and grey belt in the image above it is an example of a dental nurse hygienist trade belt from the time when any female health care professional became a member of the QARANC. Each member of the QAs could be easily identified from the belt fabric colour. So registered nurses (RGN, RMN would wear a scarlet belt, the enrolled nurses (ENG, ENM) wore scarlet and grey, the Health Care Assistants (HCA) who were previously called Ward Stewardesses would wear all grey and the dental nurses and dental hygienists would wear green with a grey stripe. Each QA would wear the standard QARANC Corps buckle. Dental nurses are now members of the Royal Army Dental Corps (RADC). Other examples were the medical clerks though I cannot recall the colours of their corps stable belt fabric. If you have a picture of a ward stewardess or enrolled nurse QARANC corps belt that I may use on the page then please contact me. A British Army Nurse In the Korean War A newly published book about the QARANC is A British Army Nurse In the Korean War by Elizabeth Jilly McNair. QA Sister McNair saw active service in Korea and Japan and this book is based on her letters home and photographs she took during her 18 months spent nursing at the British Commonwealth General Hospital in Kure, Japan and the British Commonwealth Zone Medical Unit in Seoul, Korea.
