EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the elegant and formal appearance of a Driver of the Royal Army Service Corps in Full Dress uniform, dating back to around 1910. The Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) was an essential component of the British Army, responsible for the transportation and supply of equipment and provisions to the military forces in the field. The Driver, dressed in his full regalia, proudly wears the distinctive RASC cap badge on his shako, a tall, cylindrical military headgear. His uniform is adorned with various insignia and decorations, including the campaign stars for the South Africa War and the King's South Africa Medal. The red and blue stripes on his trousers represent the corps' motto, "Ubique," which means "everywhere." The Driver's outfit also includes a red tunic with gold braid and buttons, a white waistcoat, and a blue sash. He carries a long, black whip, symbolizing his role as a driver in the corps. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Royal Army Service Corps and the military uniforms of the early 20th century. The RASC played a crucial role in various military campaigns and conflicts, including World War I and II, and was disbanded in 1993 before being reconstituted as the Royal Logistic Corps in 2006. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the Royal Army Service Corps and the vital role its members played in the British military.
