RAMC Qualification

[Jimbobqmi]

This may be a stupid question from a stupid man - BUT - In the mid sixties I attended an RAMC course to qualify as a First Aid Instructor.
The qualification was worn on the left sleeve and was the Staff of Asclepius in a wreath. Anyone seen one or does anyone have an unwanted one or am I dreaming. All help gratefully accepted

Hi Jim, you are not dreaming the badge was/is as described and was also worn on the upper arm above rank chevrons by qualified non RAMC Regimental Medical Assistants as Pictured below

If you PM me I think I have one you can have

If you served in the Household Division, Royal Green Jackets, Light Infantry or Royal Irish Rangers you may have worn a version in colours other than white on khaki. Here are a few examples.

Yep , I used to wear one of these ,In my unit as a private you wore it on the cuff of the jersey heavy wool , which confussed new recruits in to thinking you were a warrant officer R.S.M !! It was moved to the shoulder after the award of a first Cpls stripe.

This badge is also found in a/a , one gold and one silver. There exist a mispelt anodised bersion that reads intructor rather than instructor.

Mike,
Gold anodised and silver anodised misspelt are my post 3. The wrong one actually reads INSTUCTOR

Thanks Tim ,I couldn't remember the exact misspelling. I knew they existed and thought it would add to the thread.
