180 Coy MT ASC

[Guest Debra]

My Grandfather Pte William Francis Hill and his brother L/Cpl Henry T Hill both served with 180 Coy MT ASC. I believe a book was written about this unit titled:

Lipscombe, G. Historical record of 180 Coy. Royal Army Service Corps, Mechanical Transport. Aldershot : Gale & Polden, 1919, but have been unable to locate a copy. If any one could suggest where I might be able to obtain a copy would be greatly appreciated. (I live in Australia).

I am seeking any information I can obtain about this particular unit. I have a number of pictures of men from this company with my Grandfather and Uncle, taken in France about 1915, during a show they performed titled "Yes I Think So", which may be of interest should I find anyone else whose relatives also served with this unit. I also have the PROGRAMME that goes along with the show pictures. I am unable to visit the PRO to look for information myself about this company as I live overseas, so any information greatly received.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Cheers

Debra
