RASC |
| The Army Service Corps can trace its roots back to the late
1700’s and the Royal Wagoners, over the next hundred years they reformed several
times, but it wasn’t until 1889 that they were vested with all the functions;
Command, Control, Staff, Transport and Supply . They were granted the ‘Royal’
prefix by King George V on November 25th 1918. By the end of the second world
war their strength had grown to 335,000 soldiers - one in every ten wore the
RASC cap badge. In 1965 The Royal Corps of Transport was formed joining with
parts of the Royal Engineers, however this was disbanded in 1993 and today we
know them as the Royal Logistics Corps.
