ROYAL ARMY PAY CORPS

Motto: "In Faith and Trust"

Regimental March: "Imperial Echoes"



The Army Pay Corps was granted its "Royal" prefix after the Great War. Having lost 303 of its ranks in the Second World War, the R.A.P.C.'s strength stood at just 129 officers and men by the early 1950s. Its personnel received proper military training - 'To prepare them for surprise attacks on H.Q.s' - training that must have proved useful to Sergeant W. H. Irons, R.A.P.C., who found himself fighting alongside the Glosters at Imjin River.

Pair: Sergeant F. Smith, Royal Army Pay Corps

Korea 1950-53 (21030708 Sgt. F. Smith. R.A.P.C.); U.N. Korea 1950-54, nearly extremely fine (2)
