The Army Service Corps, also known as ASC, played a vital role in various military operations throughout history. From the sketches of the British Army to lithographs depicting soldiers during different expeditions and wars, these images capture the essence of their service. In Sheffield, c. 1916, we see brave soldiers from the Army Service Corps ready for action. Their determination shines through as they prepare for whatever challenges lie ahead. The Transvaal Crisis lithograph takes us back to a time when troops were sent off to Cape Town amidst tension and uncertainty. One particular image showcases a vaccination parade on board the steamer "Bathurst" before departing Liverpool for the Ashanti Expedition. This litho reminds us that not only did these soldiers face battles but also took part in important health initiatives while serving their country. War preparations are depicted in another lithograph where a detachment of the Army Service Corps is seen embarking on the "Braemar Castle. " Their commitment to duty is evident as they gear up for what lies beyond. A black and white photograph captures an impressive centrepiece dedicated to this corps. It symbolizes their significant contributions and sacrifices made during times of conflict. During the Second Boer War, ASC personnel proved themselves once again with unwavering dedication and resilience. A Regimental Sergeant Major stands tall in one colour litho while a Trumpeter adds melody and signals commands in another. Reviewing orders was crucial for effective coordination within this corps; hence we have a captivating colour litho showcasing an army review accompanied by field service orders. Every detail mattered when it came to ensuring smooth logistics and support operations. Lastly, we witness yet another remarkable soldier - a Company Sergeant Major - who exemplifies leadership qualities within ASC ranks through his vibrant portrayal in colour lithography. These glimpses into history remind us of how essential each member of the Army Service Corps was during challenging times. They provided vital logistical support, ensuring troops were well-equipped and supplied.
