A fine unit history, from it's foundation in 1796 to the end of The First World War, complete with very good colour uniform plates, rolls of officers present in Peninsula, Waterloo & numerous other campaigns.

During the First World War, the AVC tripled its officers, and the number of other ranks grew forty-fold. By 1918, nearly half of all veterinary surgeons in Britain were serving in the corps. Engaged on the Western Front, at Gallipoli, Salonika, Mesopotamia and Palestine, it treated sick and wounded cavalry, transport and artillery animals. It also diversified, dealing with horses that had been gassed, setting up four farriery schools, and even treating camels in the Middle East. 

Following the Armistice in 1918, it was granted the 'Royal'prefix in recognition of its service.

I was truly saved at age 11, and even took my New Testament to elementary school to witness. I backslid at 14 and went into deep sin for 31 years. I was a Junkie, alcoholic, violent criminal mental patient. Yet I always kept reading the Bible praying the Lord would bring me back. He did in 1998 and it’s been 19 years without a drink, drug or violence. I don’t ask money for Preaching and teaching. I give free dinners at my Bible studies and run a Prison Ministry. I am 67 now and was surprised myself at the revelations God was showing me that were IN the same Bible all have been reading for years. I don’t need to see any of the Bible’s miracles because what He did in my life is miracle enough. God’s business is CHANGING lives.
