Default RASC Group Photo (France)

Hi Gents,

I just had this really nice and interesting postcard come in, so wanted to share it. Not many of these chaps are wearing cap badges but the few that are look to be Royal Army Service Corps. The sign behind makes me think this was taken in France. The motorcycle I believe is a Douglas.

Cheerio,

Roy

HI Roy

Either France or Belgium. Did you see the photo of the Ulster D.R. badge I posted a week or so back?

Thoughts?

Thanks for that.

Yes I believe I did see that post. Not familiar with these badges but would love one. I hear they are quite rare.

Cheers,

Roy

Several of the men appear to be wearing boiler suits so maybe the building behind had been commandeered for use as a vehicle maintenance and repair workshop. They look to have a civilian assistant with them as well.
