You may never of heard of the RLC. I was my privilege to meet several today because the marched through Aldershot today and receive their medals.
You may have seen a TV series called Road worriers.
These guys deliver supplies to the front line, showing courage and maturity beyond there years.
They could not understand the welcome at the Trafalgar pub, the gurkhas did not pop in for a beer, that's there way.
We explained that without them, the fight would be harder and more bloody. Serving Guardsmen and ex soldiers like myself, were so pleased to see them , just to say thank you. Without resupply the battle is lost.
I just wanted to mention the Royal Logistic Corps to day, because without them this campaign would grind to a halt. These are very underrated soldiers of the British army So well done the R.L.C. Respect !

Who we are - Soldiers
that get the job done
From tanks and ammunition to letters and food, we get the right amount of the right kit to the right people in the right place at the right time - enabling the Army to do its job, and boosting morale along the way.
We fight logistics through to keep the army working, moving and communicating.
The RLC works all over the world, in all conditions:
On land, sea and in the air
Night and day
In rain, shine and snow
In mountains, desert, built up areas and jungle terrain
We're also experts at helping, protecting and advising civilians who get caught up in conflicts, natural disasters or any other situation where we're needed.
You'll always find the RLC wherever you find the Army. It's our job to get everything set up, keep everything safe and make sure everything runs smoothly - whatever it takes.
The RLC is the largest corps in British army, with over 16,000 soldiers and officers working and operating in regiments of every type. We're proud of what we do, and of each other. In fact, we're like one very big family, and we make sure we look after each other.
'In the RLC you work hard and play hard. I have been all over the world, on exercise, operations and adventurous training, had some amazing experiences and made friends I will have for the rest of my life'. Captain Wade 'I have made friends I will have for the rest of my life'.
