It consisted of an Army Medical Service (officers) and an Army Medical Corps (other ranks). Sir F.W.

After the Second World War, a series of coloured berets were adopted, with other arms and services wearing midnight blue berets, with a large coloured "flash" in corps colours – dull cherry for the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps.
