ReviewsThis excellent work brings together over 500 images - the vast majority of a photographic nature, although there are a number of colour plates of the more familiar artist-drawn postcards many will be aware of - which serve to record the life and work of the men who served with the Army Service Corps. It forms a first-class photographic archive, prefaces by a short and well written history of the ASC. The book is printed on quality paper and the black-and-white photos are all first-rate throughout.
