About This Work

A Royal Army Medical Corps officer's side cap. Brass King's crown badge and buttons. Usually private purchase.

British Army Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) Officer's Coloured Field Service Cap. Also commonly referred to as a side cap or smart "walking out" hat, this distinctive piece of military headwear displays several key regimental and rank indicators: 
  • Corps Colors: Features a medical dull cherry/maroon wool crown paired with a dark navy blue or black body and side flaps (curtains).
Gold Piping: The prominent gold or gilt braid piping running along the crown and the peak edge confirms it as an officer's quality piece. Other Ranks (ORs) versions typically lacked this embellishment. 
Regimental Details: Fitted with two small brass RAMC buttons at the front and an official bi-metal or gilt RAMC cap badge featuring the rod and serpent of Aesculapius. Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) first introduced its bi-metal cap badge shortly after the Second World War, with production starting around 1945–1947.
