Unit History: Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service

In 1902, Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS) was established by Royal Warrant, and was named after Queen Alexandra, who became its President. In 1949, the QAIMNS became a corps in the British Army and was renamed Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps.
 
The associated Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps Association is a registered charity.
 
Queen Alexandra was President until her death in 1925. The following year she was succeeded by Queen Mary.
