EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting by Malcolm Greensmith captures the essence of The Royal Logistic Corps (RLC), a pivotal yet often unsung component of the British Army. Formed in 1993 through the amalgamation of the Royal Corps of Transport, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Pioneer Corps, Army Catering Corps, and the Royal Engineers Postal and Courier Service, the RLC is a diverse corps that comprises both Regular and Territorial Army units. In this scene, we witness a cross-section of RLC personnel from various ranks and roles, showcasing the corps' rich history and wide-ranging capabilities. At the center, a captain and major confer over maps and plans, their faces etched with concentration. Behind them, a staff officer diligently records data on a clipboard. To the left, a field catering team prepares a hot meal for soldiers, while a private checks supplies in a wagon. In the background, a soldier on horseback, reminiscent of the Royal Pioneer Corps' cavalry heritage, leads a train of wagons laden with provisions. A corporal and warrant officer oversee the loading of ammunition, while a postal courier rides off on a motorbike, ensuring the timely delivery of correspondence. The uniforms and equipment of these soldiers, from rifles to drums, underscore the corps' long and storied history. From the commissariat and supply functions of the Royal Corps of Transport to the engineering expertise of the Royal Engineers, the RLC's logistical support has been instrumental in the British Army's successes on land, sea, and air. This painting is a testament to the unwavering commitment and dedication of the men and women of the Royal Logistic Corps, who have ensured the army's operational readiness and success in various theaters, from deserts to battlefields, for generations.
