RASC Field Bakeries, 8th Army
Does anyone know anything abut the organisation of RASC Field Bakeries, particularly in the 8th Army? I have all the pamphlets, recipes etc. from my grandfather's unit, but I don't know if they were attached to specific brigades, corps or divisions. Unsurprisingly, it's difficult to find information on support troops like this.
All armies can be divided into two parts:
1. Infantry;
2. Support arms.

Its been my experience that RASC Bakeries were generally regarded as a Corp+ asset or a Divisional asset, and not a Brigade asset.
A good book about the RASC etc is Wait for the Wagon (The Story of the RCT and its Predecessors 1794-1993) Pg107-210 deal with WW2, with the Pg134-154 dealing with the western desert

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the tricolour I must fear evil, For I am but mortal and mortals can only die
