The Royal Army Ordnance Corps was responsible for supplying British military units with weapons, ammunition and equipment. It has some roots dating back to 1414 as the Office of Ordnance and would later become the Army Ordnance Corps.
In the year 1922, they gained the "Royal" prefix to their name and would carry on their duty until merging with other units in 1993 to form the Royal Logistic Corps. Their motto was "Sua Tonanti Tela" which can be translated as "To The Warrior His Arms".
