Following the Second World War, a Book of Remembrance was commissioned by the Corps to commemorate the officers and men of the Royal Army Dental Corps who gave their lives during that war and since. On Monday 16th August 1948, a Memorial Service was conducted at the Depot and Training Establishment RADC, Connaught Road by the Chaplain General, the Rev Canon FL Hughes, BBE, MC, MA TD, Chaplain to the King.

On 29 November 1964 a final Service was held at St Albans as the church closed and was later demolished.

At the Service a Memorial Stone and the Book of Remembrance were unveiled by the Adjutant-General, General Sir James S Steele KBE, CB, DSO, MC, LLD. Wreaths were laid by General Sir James S Steele, Major General JCA Dowse (representing Director General Army Medical Services), Major General AB Austin (Director Army Dental Service), and Colonel JP Duguid (Colonel Commandant RADC). The music was provided by the Band and Buglers of the RAMC, and the ceremony was attended by over 500 personnel.

The Book of Remembrance was initially placed in the old Connaught Hospital Chapel at the Depot and Training Establishment RADC. It was inscribed and illuminated by Daisy Alcock, considered by many, one of the greatest calligraphers of the 20th century, who was also responsible for the HMS HOOD Memorial Book in St John’s Church, Boldre in the New Forest and the Battle of Britain Roll of Honour in Westminster Abbey.

In 1951 the old wooden hospital chapel was deemed no longer fit for use and the Book was removed to St Alban’s Garrison Church at the west end of Connaught Barracks where Evelyn Woods Road turns South to Mons Lines. This church was positioned in front of the East end of Tournai Officers’ Mess and faced down the length of Evelyn Woods Road. It was also constructed of wood, was built in 1856 as the original North Camp Garrison Church, renamed the Marlborough Lines Garrison Church in 1892 when North Camp was officially redesignated as Marlborough Lines, and finally, after dedication in honour of St Alban on 27th September 1950 it became St Alban’s Garrison Church.

On 29 November 1964 a final Service was held at St Albans as the church closed and was later demolished. The Book of Remembrance was then moved to St George’s Garrison Church in Queens Avenue. On the reorganisation of the Garrison Churches in 1973, the Book finally came to rest at the Royal Garrison Church of All Saints, where it is housed in an RADC crested illuminated oak case in the RADC Chapel.

Each year in the Garrison Church of All Saints, and at the National Memorial Arboretum or Lichfield Garrison Church, there is a Turning of the Page Service when the RADC remember their fallen comrades whose names feature in the Book of Remembrance.
