Introduction to the RLC Website by Colonel RLC

By media_commeseditor | 7th April 2015

Welcome to our new Royal Logistic Corps website.

If you are wondering what this website is for and who it is aimed at, well it is aimed at you! I hope that anyone can find our website informative and useful. If you are currently serving as a Royal Logistic Corps Regular or Reservist, this site will allow you to keep up-to-date on Corps events with news from our diverse range of Regiments or from one of the thousands of RLC soldiers and officers serving outside of regimental duty at home or abroad. In addition, if you have news, information or events you would like to share, you can contact our media and communications officer who will be able to help.

We would also like to assist retired members of the Corps family stay in touch through the website, just follow the links to the Association page and you can make contact with The Royal Logistic Corps and Forming Corps’Associations. The links will connect you to our Facebook page, contact details within the Regimental Headquarters and with a number of LinkedIn groups that will help you stay connected and may provide some networking opportunities.

We are also very keen to provide an opportunity to show the diversity, career opportunities and trades within The Royal Logistic Corps to those who are contemplating a career in the Army. The Careers page will give you a brief summary of the trades and career prospects for soldiers and officers within the Corps. The ‘Unit Finder’ function will assist prospective Reservist personnel to find the nearest RLC unit to you. Also, if you have landed here by accident, have a look around and if you or anyone you know are thinking of a Career in the Army that provides a real challenge and an array of transferable skills, let them know about us, we are recruiting now – either full time Regular service or as a part time Reservist.

In closing, the staff within the Regimental Headquarters want to provide a website that is useful and informative, if you can think of any improvements please let us know.

James R. Heyworth M2/187274 enlisted at the Grove Park recruitment depot on the 8th December 1915, aged 21. Between then and June 1916 he remained in the UK as part of the Army Reserve, until he was called for active service. He was enlisted as a Private in the Army Service Corps (ASC) and arrived in France from Southampton on 4th July 1916.
---
Whilst in the Army Service Corps, James Robinson was attached to the 51st Brigade of the Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA). These heavy artillery pieces relied on motorcycle despatch riders as a main means of communication between HQ, the batteries and front line units. Particularly as telephone wires were frequently destroyed by German shelling.
He was awarded the Military Medal for “Bravery in the Field” in 1918. This appears alongside other ASC soldiers and gunners from the RGA in the May 4th Army Orders, and was officially gazetted on 16th July 1918.---
