The RAMC Memorial at Aldershot in Hampshire is a monument commemorating the men of the Royal Army Medical Corps who lost their lives during the Boer War of 1899 to 1902.

[2] The memorial commemorates the 314 officers and men of the Royal Army Medical Corps who died in the Boer War[3] - namely, one Colonel, two Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonels of the Militia Staff Corps, six Majors, five Captains, five Lieutenants, two Quartermasters, two Sergeant-Majors, nine Staff Sergeants, nine Sergeants, five Lance Sergeants, eighteen Corporals, five Lance-Corporals and 243 Privates.

The sculpted group by the Welsh sculptor Sir William Goscombe John RA[1] is formed by two men of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) tending to a wounded man lying on a stretcher in a pietà composition.

The wounded soldier lies in the arms of a RAMC Orderly while his left leg is bandaged by a Medical Officer.

The architectural setting is by the Scottish Arts and Crafts architect and landscape designer Robert Weir Schultz.
