To the Warrior His Arms by Frank Steer
This is the story of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps from its formation in 1918 until its absorption into the Royal Logistic Corps in 1993. Its seventy-five year life as a 'Royal' Corps was preceded by a long history dating back before time immemorial where 'Ordnance' in various shapes, forms and organisations provided the vital support needed to maintain the Army's weapons at war and in peace. In the post WWI world and running right through to the end of the century wherever the Army was so was the RAOC. Its skills were wide ranging, its decorations, particularly for Bomb Disposal, among the highest and hardest won, its sporting prowess of the highest order and its bearing, record, pride and regimental tradition as fine as any in the Army.
Brigadier Frank Steer MBE was a senior member of the RAOC. He is a proven author and military historian and battlefield guide. His published works include Arnhem - The Fight to Sustain and two Battleground Europe titles Arnhem - The Landing Grounds, Oosterbrek and Arnhem - The Bridge.
