History: The Roberts-Strickland Post Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Inc., was organized in Durham in October 1949, by members of the American Legion Post No. 184, and incorporated in 1950. Initially, most of the Ambulance Corps members were Legionnaires. As the membership of the Corps gradually changed, the number of people belonging to both organizations dwindled and little remained in common between the Legion and the Ambulance Corps. In 1971 the two separated and the Corps changed its name to The Durham Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
