I'm currently researching grandad Ernest Brewer's service in the RASC 502 Coy, I have his service record but can't seem to find much else anywhere at the moment, perhaps it's there but just a matter of finding it I'm looking foward to having a good browse around this site, there's so much on here. Regards Alan

Regards Alan Alan, welcome to the Forum. 502 RASC were at Dunkirk as part of the 42nd Inf Division, responsible for Supply of Ammunition and Petrol. His service record should tell you were he served, after he enlisted 42ND (EAST LANCASHIRE) INFANTRY DIVISION 42 Infantry Division Signals 42 Infantry Division RE 200, 201, 202 Fd Coys, 250 Fd Pk Coy 42 Infantry Division RASC Amn Coy, Petrol Coy, Supply Column [501, 502, 503 Coys RASC] 42 Infantry Division RAOC 42 Infantry Division RAMC 125 Fd Amb 126 Fd Amb 127 Fd Amb Give the Royal Logistics Corps Museum an email to see if they can help query@rlcmuseum.freeserve.co.uk
Thanks for the info englandphil, I just wondered is there a database you can look up this type of query in the forum or elsewhere?
I’m belated looking up my fathers history in the RASC 502 ? Company C. I have the two books one about the RASC and the other about the 79th Armoured Brigade. But they don’t seem to match the story he told. He was George Maclure and shared his vehicle with my Godfather Terry McMahon. Any body out there with any info?
What story did he tell?? Do you have his service records - if not then they are vital in answering your question - Request records of deceased service personnel - GOV.UK TD
