QARANC MuseumInformation about the QARANC Museum and the Army Medical Services Collection of Memorabilia: 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 QA museum was formerly found at the QA Centre but is now housed at the Army Medical Services (AMS) Museum at the Defence Medical Services Training Centre Keogh Barracks in Ash Vale. 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 band provided a Guard of Honour and their band played at this formal military occasion (cited in the book Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps (Famous Regts. S)  by Juliet Piggott).

where we share the information for free to help others with information and resources about earning more money.
