Australian Army Medical Corps

The Australian Army Medical Corps was a specialized branch of the Australian Army responsible for providing medical care to soldiers. Established in the early 20th century, it included doctors, nurses, and stretcher bearers who treated injuries and illnesses during wartime and peacetime. Their role was essential for maintaining soldiers’ health, managing battlefield injuries, and ensuring the overall readiness of military personnel. The corps worked closely with other military units and civilian medical services, evolving over time to improve military healthcare and adapt to changing medical practices.
