Good suggestion, Leigh, thanks.
Possibly Boer War vintage?
Cheers, John

Yes, but I'm just guessing it's the Imperial Hospital Corps because of the Initials rather than because I have any knowledge of the unit or its insignia.

Indian Hospital Corps.... NOT Imperial

The Indian Hospital Corps was formed on 1 June 1920 by combining the Army Hospital Corps and Army Bearer Corps and the subordinate personnel of Indian Station Hospitals, comprising persons of categories then considered necessary for hospitals, field ambulances and other medical units. Merged with IAMC in 1943

So definitely Indian Hospital Corps and not the Imperial Hospital Corps of the Anglo-Boer war period?
