AMS MuseumInformation about the QARANC and the Army Medical Services Museums at RAMC Keogh Barracks Ash Vale The Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps has a history that dates back over 3 centuries. Much of this history is on display, archived and recorded at the QARANC Museum.

The first QA Museum was opened by Princess Margaret the QARANC Colonel in Chief on the 22 May 1959 at Hindhead, the Training and Establishment Depot. Princess Margaret was presented with a gold, diamond, ruby and sapphire brooch which was in the form of the QARANC Corps badge. The RAMC Staff Band provided a Guard of Honour and played at this formal military occasion (cited in the book Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps (Famous Regts.
