Private Audu achieved success at the Olympics when he was part of 4 x 400m relay final that won the Bronze medal for Nigeria.

Flag of RLC

The current Colonel-in-Chief (an honorary position) is HRH The Princess Royal. The Deputy Colonels-in-Chief are HRH The Duke of Gloucester and HRH The Duchess of Kent.

The corps' cap badge is an amalgamation of the forming corps' cap badges:

  • The star is from the Royal Corps of Transport
  • The crossed axes are from the Royal Pioneer Corps
  • The laurel and garter band is from the Royal Engineers
  • The shield in the centre is from the Royal Army Ordnance Corps
  • The motto, "We sustain", is from the Army Catering Corps
Royal Logistic Corps landing craft, the RCL Arezzo

The inscription on the garter band "Honi soit qui mal y pense" can be translated as "Evil to him who evil thinks". It is usually seen on the insignia of Regiments and Corps with 'Royal' in their title.

The corps is nicknamed "The Loggies", or the "Really Large Corps", since the Corps forms approximately 17% of the British Army. It is the Army's single largest component. Soldiers can belong to one of 18 trade groups.

The corps has the alliances with the logistic units of Australia, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka. It is affiliated with 4 Livery Companies of the City of London.
