This is the final orbit of the RAOC changing to RLC in APRIL 1993
Many of 1,2,3 & 4 Ord Companies merged with RCT Squadrons to form Artillery or Brigade Close Support Squadrons.
Confirmation is needed as to where each tie up?
Bearing in mind we are talking APRIL 1993 here, any amendments & buildup changes are welcome;
[Note - None 'Ordnance' RLC Sqns are not listed - But Regiments are for information only]
Most information is from Corps History, RAOC Gazettes and RLC Journal, April 1993 as given out at Formation Parade to guests. No cross referance was given, so errors need to be updated.
[No one really bothered to record these changes in one place before!]
