Army Service Corps 1902 - 1918

'Ally Slopers Cavalry' may well have been a music hall joke in Victorian times, but the re-organised Army Service Corps (ASC) came into its own in the First World War, providing essential support to the British Army in every theatre of war. With so little published material available, even our leading historians have only the sketchiest idea of the logistic network behind the front line and the activities of the men and women involved. This freshly researched book by the last curator of the RASC & RCT Museum provides a wealth of new and fascinating information on what became eventually a 326,000- strongcorps, along with 120 photographs and 21 annexes of archive material. The ASC's contribution to the 1914-1918 war has been ignored for too long - until now.
