26 Regiment
Royal Army Service Corps / Royal Corps of Transport
Im Jahre 1965 wurde das RASC (Royal Army Service Corps) umstrukturiert und wurde ein Teil des RCT (Royal Corps of Transport). Daraus ergab sich das die Hameln stationierte 10 Kompanie RASC zur 40 Squadron RCT wurde!
In 1965 the RASC were re-badged and became the RCT.
Consequently 10 Coy RASC was re-numbered as 40 Sqn RCT.
Thanks for information William and James!
