WW2 Royal Army Service Corp - Service Records

[MaxD]

You should have a look at one of the many references to the RASC on the net.  A good one is
https://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/units/4495/royal-army-service-corps.  They can do a better job than I of explaining where and how the RASC fitted into the great scheme of things.

The units on both records are all elements within the RASC responsible for different aspects of supply and transport.

I must admit to a minor error earlier. 913 Company was not a Royal Artillery unit but an RASC company attached to a Royal Artillery AA (Anti-Aircraft) unit, providing transport support.  There are war diaries also for this unit, the year you want is at

As Andy has said, there are diaries for two RASC companies, 299 and 399.  However, I think what he may be referring to as a typo was what I queried in my first answer.  The clerk has entered 299 GT Coy in the dates from and to column but has then put 399 in the next column - they should be the same.  He/she was copying from his AF B 102 (don't worry about that) and probably just made an error.  Andy will no doubt let you know. (Just seen his post)

I'm wondering if both entries are meant to read 299 Company and 399 is an admin error by the person writing on the form.

Hard to say what is the best one to get. War Diaries vary quite a lot.
