The Royal Army Chaplains' Department (RAChD) is an all-officer corps that provides ordained clergy to minister to the British Army.
==History==
The Army Chaplains' Department (AChD) was formed by Royal Warrant of 23 September 1796.〔(Museum of Army Chaplaincy ) webpage. British Army official website.〕 Previously chaplains had been part of individual regiments, but not on the central establishment. Only Anglican chaplains were recruited until 1827, when Presbyterians were recognised. Roman Catholic chaplains were recruited from 1836, Methodist chaplains from 1881, and Jewish chaplains from 1892.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Army Chaplains )〕 During the First World War some 4,400 Army Chaplains were recruited and 179 lost their lives on active service.〔 The Department received the "Royal" prefix in February 1919.〔 During the Second World War another 96 British and 38 Commonwealth Army Chaplains lost their lives.〔
From 1946 until 1996, the RAChD's Headquarters, Depot and Training Centre were at Bagshot Park in Surrey, now the home of The Earl and Countess of Wessex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bagshot Park )〕 In 1996, they moved to the joint service Armed Forces Chaplaincy Centre at Amport House near Andover.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Army Forces Chaplaincy Centre )〕
