A superb and un-issued printed R.A.V.C. (Royal Army Veterinary Corps) shoulder title

This is a great example of a difficult to find and un-issued printed R.A.V.C. (Royal Army Veterinary Corps) shoulder title. In 1918 the Corps was given its Royal prefix in recognition of its service through the First World War. During World War II the strength of the Corps increased from 85 officers and 105 other ranks, to a total of 519 officers and 3,939 other ranks. By 1942 the Army had 6,500 horses, 10,000 mules and 1,700 camels in service. The RAVC survived the amalgamation of the other Army Medical Services in late 2024 and remained independent of the newly formed Royal Army Medical Service due to their legal and operational combatant status which differed from the special protected status of the other corps.
