ID uniform in photo

[km1971]

The fiver is in the post GB. I was about to suggest the Canadian Service medal for the Fenian Raids for the middle one because of the wide stripe. But I can just about make out the oak-leaf clasp. The clasp on the China looks ok.

Fancy uniform for the Military Train.

See history of The Royal Logistic Corps

Its earliest origins link the RCT to the Commissariat, a civilian organisation responsible directly to the Treasury, which provided food and supplies to Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army. However, the very first military transport unit, the Corps of Waggoners, was formed in 1794. This evolved into the Royal Waggon Train which served throughout the Napoleonic Wars, notably at the Battle of Waterloo.

Following its disbandment in 1833, there were a number of short-lived organisations such as the Military Train and the Land Transport Corps, but it was not until the formation of the Army Service Corps in 1899 that transport and supplies became a well organised permanent body.
