The establishment of the 'Q' Services Corps as part of the South African Permanent Force was promulgated in the ''Government Gazette'' dated 10 November 1939.〔(Typed copy of Proclamation 276 of 1939 )〕 ==Formation== The South African Service Corps, which was developed during the First World War, the South African Ordnance Corps and the South African Administrative, Pay and Clerical Corps were replaced by the 'Q' Services Corps and the 'T' (Technical) Services Corps in terms of Proclamation 276 of 10 November 1939. The 'Q' Services were vastly expanded during the Second World War, providing numerous services for the combatant forces, including the provision of petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL), rations, ammunition, stationery, clothing and equipment and other supplies, as well as providing transport through a large number of motor transport (MT) companies. Duties also involved the running of numerous establishments such as field bakeries and butcheries.〔 By April 1941, 'Q' Services had already deployed more than 7,000 men for the East African Campaign alone.〔 After the war, pay was also handled by the Corps.〔 The 'Q' Services Corps was replaced by the Administrative Services Corps (ASC) in November 1949. The ASC was responsible for supply and transport services other than armament and technical stores.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Q Services Corps (South Africa)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
