Royal Armoured Corps

Royal Armoured Corps

The Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) is a Corps of the British Army. It's either the people who drive tanks around Household Cavalry, Cavalry, and Royal Tank Regiment. Or it's an organisation which comes out to fix your car when you break down. Nobody's really sure.

Note: Please put any information on the regiments you may have on their individual pages, not here.
