History
While army regimental surgeons had been providing dental care services to soldiers since circa 1660, it was not until 1901 that a dental service branch was formally established under the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC). In 1921, dentists of the RAMC were split off into a separate Army Dental Corps (ADC). The Corps was awarded the "Royal" prefix to become the Royal Army Dental Corps in November 1946 in recognition of its service in World War II.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
