My grandfather was in the veterinary corp in WW1. Does anyone know where I would be able to find out info about them...I cannot find any service records for him.

Hello Jane

What information have you that took you to the RAVC?

Have you found a Medal Card for him??

The RAVC are part of the AMS - Army Medical Services, and as such the museum is at Keogh Barracks near Aldershot. Tel 01252 868820

The AVC was formed in 1903, and became "Royal" in 1918...
