This black wooden swagger stick is used by members of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), a specialist corps in the British Army that provides medical services to all Army personnel and their families, in both war and peace. The RAMC forms part of the Army Medical Services, alongside the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, the Royal Army Dental Corps, and Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps. The swagger stick features the Royal Army Medical Corps emblem on a silver metal ball top.
Swagger sticks are also commonly referred to as cane sticks. In the British Army and other military forces following Commonwealth traditions, commissioned officers of most infantry regiments formerly carried swagger sticks when on duty, whilst Warrant Officers and Senior NCOs carried pace sticks instead. This practice continues in some regiments, especially by Warrant Officers when in Barrack Dress.
