UK Royal Corps of Transport cap badge?
Hi,
Does anyone have a picture or a link to a picture of a WW2 time CAP BADGE for "Royal Corps of Transport"? Am just trying to help someone ID a regimental uniform from a picture for a woman trying to find out who her dad served with. Thanks for any help, Karmen |

Hi Karmen;
The Royal Corps of Transport was not formed until 1965, a wee bit after the Second World War (20 yrs). Below is the cap badge of the Royal Army Service Corps, as worn 1939-1945. Cheers

I obviously don't know what I'm talking about : I was hoping to find an image of the KINGS CROWN cap badge, if it exists because someone implied that prior to about 1953 it was Kings crown ... after that, Queens crown.!!! Trouble for me is that I don't know if other people know what they're talking abouut ... unlike here in the MLU of course I trust the info in here is good, and know its corrected or challenged when its not, til we get the right answer if ones to be had ARE the two regiments mentioned one and the same with a new name given in 1965? Is that possible? Sigh. Thanks Mark |

The Royal Army Service Corps, in the context of 'Transport' , is the predecessor of the Royal Corps of Transport. The Royal Corps of Transport however, did not exist before 1965, before which 'Transport' was within the sphere of the Royal Army Service Corps. Can you post the picture you mentioned earlier? Cheers

I forgot to mention, the Royal Corps of Transport was only in existence from July 1965 to April 1993. It's now the Royal Logistic Corps.
Confused yet?

The Royal Corp of Transport came up as someones "guess" as to regiment, BASED ON WHAT THEY THINK ARE THE LETTERS "R.C.T." that she thinks show up in one of those photos, which is what the daughter is exploring now. I'm sorry to post such iffy questions but I figured you or someone else in here would be quick to verify. Maybe you'll see a totally different regiment Thanks Mark. Karmen |

I still don't know where "R.C.T." came from, but its not that or RASC (Royal Army Service Corps). I'd have to say, that from what I can make out, he served with the Corps of Royal Engineers (RE), judging by the cap badge visible in one photo and the equipment in the other. I've attached an image of the RE cap badge (1939-1945). Cheers

Well ... time to break some dishes. Oops... I mean "wash" some dishes. If you were here I'd wash your hairy old face for you too, and I'd use Kwellada as dish soap |

Jifferoo too ...
Jifferoo is getting very very very hairy and needs a shampoo too so I'll save some Kwellada for him too. Mind you he's a long way to go to get a Viking beard, but still, haory is hairy and make great nests for kreepy-kritters ...
Any other hairy old beasts need a shampoo while I'm at it??? Ma |
