Great War British ASC Serviceman

A mate portraying a British ASC Lance Corporal in the Suffolk Regiment! One chevron upper left arm is for a Lance Corporal, appointed rank, and one chevron lower left is for two years' service - cheers for correcting me if I'm wrong! The chaps and blokes of the ASC - sometimes called Ally Sloper's Cavalry in a cheeky, teasing way - were the quiet heroes of the British Army during the Great War. Soldiers can't fight without grub, gear, and ammo; they can't move without horses or vehicles. It was the ASC's job to sort it out for them. In the Great War, nearly all the supplies for the massive army on multiple fronts came from Britain. Using horse-drawn and motorized vehicles, railways, and waterways, the ASC pulled off incredible feats of logistics, making them one of the key strengths of organization that led to winning the war. http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk My 3D reconstruction generated with photogrammetry software 3DF Zephyr v3.702 processing 50 images
