AndrewThornton Posted 9 December , 2002 Share Posted 9 December , 2002 Here's a question for any Army Service Corps experts: Could anyone tell me what higher formation 490th Horse Transport Company ASC were attached to? Also, what trade did the prefix T4/ denote on an ASC soldier's number? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_davies Posted 9 December , 2002 Share Posted 9 December , 2002 Andrew, Unfortunately I'm not ASC expert (or an expert in much else), but I was led to believe the prefix "T" on their serial numbers referred to the transportation branch. As for the 4, I read somewhere that it denoted the New Army formation. (ie 4 would be for 4th Army). However on reflection I'm not sure this is correct.

Chris_Baker Posted 9 December , 2002 Share Posted 9 December , 2002 490 Company was always based in UK. It was 53 Reserve Park, and I believe for some time it was based at Kinmel Park. I guess that puts it into Western Command? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
