gavinmedals Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi, can help with some of them: A.S.C - Army Service Corps A.C.F - Active Citizen Force Q.S.C - A reference lists it as "Q" Services Corps. Perhaps "Quartermaster"? N.M.C - I have found the "Natal Medical Corps", but this was much earlier so perhaps not I will see if I can find anything more over the weekend Regards Gavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinmedals Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Hi, I have done some further reading and the Q.S.C is interesting, in the Tylden's "Armed Forces of South Africa" it is also only referred to as "Q" Service Corps. It was established in Nov 1939, taking over the clothing, SA Service Admin, Pay & Clerical Corps. the approximate strength was 950 officers and 12 700 other ranks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur R Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 ACF and QSC as already identified by Gavin. NMC = Native Military Corps. GSC = General Service Corps. Not come cross NMMT before. MT usually stood for "Mechanical Transport" or "Motor Transport". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
