hi cliff
your diamond t did serve with the RASC but now is marked up as RCT serving with 1 corps this corps was reformed
in 1951 in Baor Germany your vehicle history card should be with the RLC Museum along with its service documents
if not the National Army Museum who owned it previousley should have the service documents. If you require further information let me know and i will try and help.

In the Ministry of Supply book of Wheeled vehicles, there is reference to your trailer, described as "trailer 5 ton 4 wheeled laundry ccs" which lists the equipment found inside this trailer. It is very brief, the only difference being, it states the tyres are 10x 50x 13. But these could have been changed. I would suggest that you contact the RLC museum Deepcut, as it would appear this equipment was operated by RASC personnel.
