I have just seen a QSA named to"Trooper A A FRASER RAC". Can anyone tell me what unit the RAC could be.
The Royal Armoured Corps who now use this abbreviation came into existance at the beginning of WW2.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that confirmation Gordon. It reminded me of a dealer who listed a QSA to the Kings African Rifles a few years ago which stirred great interest as the KAR did not receive the QSA. In the end it turned out to be a listing error.
