  • 15 June 2020 [RASC COMPANY ESTABLISHMENT 1944
    15 June 2020 [R.A.S.C. COMPANY ESTABLISHMENT 1944 - 1945] The Royal Army Service Corps The Royal Army Service Corps (R.A.S.C.) was the branch of the British Army responsible for the distribution of supplies to units in the field. Likewise, in the Indian Army, the Royal Indian Army Service Corps (R.I.A.S.C.) performed the same function. Both corps had the additional responsibility of transporting supplies as far as the front line, where individual units took over responsibility. The corps were also responsible for the administration and maintenance of barracks and quarters. The R.A.S.C. and R.I.A.S.C. did not issue or maintain weapons, military equipment, or ammunition as this was the responsibility of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. However, the R.A.S.C. and R.I.A.S.C. did transport ammunition from Base Ordnance Depots to Forward Ammunition Points. It was also the task of the two corps to transport and distribute Petrol, Oil and Lubricants, often known simply as ‘POL’. Just as important, the R.A.S.C. and R.I.A.S.C. were responsible for supplying the food and water to keep the army personnel and animals fed and watered. The corps provided Field Butchery, Field Bakery and Cattle Conducting Sections. The two corps used vehicles, mules, and aircraft to keep the supplies moving. Railway and shipping transportation were the responsibility of the Royal Engineer Movements and Transportation Branch. In the 1700’s, when the British Army developed into a national army as we know it today, transport was provided by civilian contractors.

  • Remembering the First World War 1 Remembering the First World War
    Remembering the First World War 1 Remembering the First World War Contents 3 Introduction 4 The Chemical Society Memorial 26 The Institute of Chemistry Memorial 42 The Men Who Came Home 53 The Role of Women Chemists 2 Introduction In his speech at the Anniversary Dinner of 3 the Chemical Society on Friday 14 March 1913, invited guest H. G. Wells spoke of the public perception of chemistry and his personal awe at what science had the potential to achieve. In the majestic rooms of the Hotel Metropole in London, the renowned novelist spoke of how he had always tried to make the scientific man, the hero. Believing that science was the ‘true romance’ more than the traditional tales of knights rescuing damsels in distress, he felt that the small band of working chemists were rapidly changing the conditions of human life. Wells spoke of his belief that while chemists had not made war impossible, they had made it preposterous; as most of Europe had been arming itself with weapons that chemists had been putting into their hands, they had come to realise that these weapons had the potential to destroy everything; the cost of war would far outweigh any benefit. Preposterous or not, war was declared the following year and among the attendees of the 1913 dinner was 23 year old Eric Rideal. Three years’ later, he saw first-hand, the chaos and destruction wrought by war as he worked to supply water to troops on the Somme. Hundreds more members of the Chemical Society and the Institute of Chemistry fought for their country between 1914 and 1918; 82 of those that had died were subsequently commemorated on the First World War memorials that now hang in the premises of the Royal Society of Chemistry in London.
