The luxurious presentation includes more than 300 black and white photographs, mostly never before published, drawn from the large Corps collection held in the Army Medical Services Museum in Aldershot. Also included, for the first time on public display, are coloured reproductions of paintings of the three former Royal Presidents and Colonels in Chief, Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary and The Princess Margaret taken from the Corps' private colection.
The work includes an introductory description of the history of military nursing from earliest times to the present day, a year by year chronology of significant events and, interspersed throughout, quotations from personal diaries and documents selected from the Corps' extensive museum collection.
