On this day 120 years ago, The Canadian Army Medical Corps was authorized. ( 2 July 1904 ) Militi Succurrimus - "We hasten to aid the soldier"Please see below information and history from Wikipedia:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Army_Medical_CorpsThe Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps (RCAMC) was an administrative corps of the Canadian Army.[2]The Militia Medical Service was established in 1898.[3] It consisted of an Army Medical Service (officers) and an Army Medical Corps (other ranks). The Hon. Sir F.W. Borden KCMG was appointed Honorary Colonel of the militia's "Canadian Army Medical Corps" on 1 August 1901.The regimental medical personnel of the Permanent Active Militia were absorbed into the Corps on 2 July 1904. The regular component was titled the "Permanent Active Militia Medical Corps" (P.A.M.C.) and the militia component was titled the "Army Medical Corps" (A.M.C.).[4] As the origin of a permanent medical corps, this date has since been considered the "birth" of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps for purposes of seniority among the corps of the Canadian Army, coming after the Royal Army Service Corps, 1903. (Though in the militia the medical corps was the first of the support branches to be formed).Separate titles for permanent and non- permanent components of the medical corps were discarded during the re-organization of 1 May 1909. Thereafter, both permanent (regular) and non-permanent (reserve) components using the title "Canadian Army Medical Corps" (C.A.M.C.). The regular component of the service was redesignated "The Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps" on 3 November 1919; the militia component was granted the same honour on 29 April 1936, becoming the "Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps". These two elements were re-organized for administrative purposes following the Second World War, on 22 March 1948, as "The Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps".[5] The corps suffix "RCAMC" was added to the designation of all corps units from 1944.The badge of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps consists of the rod of Asclepius (a serpent entwined around a staff) surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves, surmounted by the Royal Crown, with the name "Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps" on a scroll below. The earlier badge of the Canadian Army Medical Corps (1909) was identical, minus the prefix "Royal" on the scroll. The previous badge of the Army Medical Service and Army Medical Corps consisted of a Geneva Cross on a silver maple leaf (1899). The badge of the Royal Army Medical Corps was briefly used by some members during the embryonic period of the service (1898).After the Second World War, a series of coloured berets were adopted, with other arms and services wearing midnight blue berets, with a large coloured "flash" in corps colours – dull cherry for the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps.[6]Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the R.C.A.M.C. in 1954, at the time of the 50th Anniversary celebrations of the Corps.Royal Canadian Medical Service AssociationRoyal Canadian Medical Service Friends ...
