Default Hong Kong Military Service Corps

I brought a brass shoulder title for the Hong Kong Military Service Corps at Odyssey last w/e and I wonder if they have any relationship with the RASC or RCT ??

Can't answer your question but they served with a lot of units.

Regiments and Units Served

Above is from a blog about the Hong Kong Military Service Corps and Museum.

Thanks Mike and thanks to Fatboy Ken also.
I found my answer in the book by Michal Michael McHenry & David Kellock -
Badges of the Empire's Waggoners pages 419 to 422.
It would seem they saw service with almost ALL British units in Hong Long and wore the cap badge of the unit they served with.
