Good morning, I was wondering if someone can lead me to a unit history of the ESPC, or indeed if service records survive and where I may access them. Trying to research a chap in this unit with previous service in Rimington's Guides and Damant's Horse. Thanks in advance Regards Simon
Their name was Essential Services Protection Corps, took a few minutes to identify and there appears to be quite alot written about them. This history appears first: Civil Defence and Protective Services in South Africa during World War Two, 1939-1945 This search reduced the number of hits: "Essential services Protection Corps" + "south africa"
Thank you for your reply, will delve into it. Trying to get as much on a chap who also served in Rimington's Guides/Damant's Horse then with service in Essential Services Protection Corps during WW2. Regards
