This black wooden cane stick is used by members of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), which is a specialist corps in the British Army providing medical services to all Army personnel and their families, in war and in peace. The RAMC forms the Army Medical Services, together with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, the Royal Army Dental Corps and Queen Alexandra's Royal Nursing Corps. The cane stick features the Royal Army Medical Corps emblem on a silver metal ball top.
Cane sticks are also commonly referred to as swagger sticks. In the British Army and other military forces following Commonwealth traditions, commissioned officers of most infantry regiments formerly carried cane 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.
