http://www.lfhhs.org.uk/The RLC Museum Archive holds a complete set of RLC and Forming Corps
Journals dating from the Nineteenth Century to the present day. The website
www.rlcarchive.org has placed on-line Journals of The RLC's Forming Corps
that were published between 1914 and 1964, covering the period from the
start of the First World War to the end of National Service. The Journals
can be browsed from page to page or searched by a word or phrase of choice.
The Journals are a valuable source of information on the activities of the
Forming Corps and the lives of those who served with them. The Journals
provide details of operations, exercises, unit news and Corps sport.
For those wishing to learn more of individual soldiers and officers who
served in the Forming Corps the Journals can be a very useful source of
research. The Journals published details of individuals? promotions,
postings, marriages and obituaries. Casualty lists, seniority lists and
medal awards were also published in the Journals. At the very least the
Journals can provide general background information to an officer?s or
soldier?s time in the Forming Corps.
Also available on this website are the Quarterlies/Reviews of the Army
Service Corps/Royal Army Service Corps (ASC/RASC) that were published
between 1905 and 1964. These more scholarly publications provide a more
detailed understanding of the work of the ASC/RASC. Articles in the
Quarterlies were usually written by serving Officers on subjects that
include doctrinal and technological developments within the Corps. The
Quarterlies also published narratives of campaigns and operations, written
with an emphasis on supply and transport in the British Army.
Over time, the format of the Journals did occasionally change. Consequently
the content emphasis does vary. Please also note although this website
offers access to all the Journals published between 1914 and 1964, within
these years there were periods when some of the Forming Corps did not
produce a Journal. However, activities and operations that did occur in
years which Journals were not published are usually written up
retrospectively when publication of the Journals resumed. Details for when
the Forming Corps did not publish Journals are as follows:
- The Army Ordnance Corps did not publish a Journal between 1915 and 1919.
- The Royal Pioneer Corps did not publish an official journal until 1946.
This website does include the Journal produced by 30 Group RPC between 1943
and 1945.
- The Army Catering Corps? first Journal was not published until 1947.
- ASC/RASC Quarterlies were not published over the years 1915-1921 and
1940-1948.
