Corps Medics Ramc Recruitment Tent
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, gentlemen! Your country needs you – in the Royal Army Medical Corps! This evocative photograph captures the scene outside a RAMC recruitment tent during the First World War, circa 1916. The British military effort was in full swing, and the demand for medical personnel was greater than ever. In this image, we see a group of potential recruits, dressed in civilians clothes, gathered around the tent, deep in conversation with the uniformed RAMC recruiters. The recruiters, with their stern expressions and confident postures, exude a sense of authority and urgency. They are here to persuade these men to join the ranks of the Royal Army Medical Corps and serve their country as medical orderlies, stretcher bearers, or even doctors and nurses. The tent itself is a hive of activity, with recruitment posters adorning the walls and various medical paraphernalia scattered about. The atmosphere inside would have been filled with a mix of excitement, apprehension, and determination. For those men who joined, they would embark on a journey that would test their mettle and change their lives forever. The First World War saw the expansion of the RAMC, which grew from a small corps of 5,000 in 1914 to over 100,000 by 1918. These brave men and women played a crucial role in caring for the wounded and sick soldiers on the battlefield and in military hospitals, often under the most challenging conditions. This photograph is a poignant reminder of their invaluable contribution to the war effort and the sacrifices they made for their country.
