Brief History
In December 1941 a section of this unit that was to support the 13th Infantry Brigade Group was mobilised, transferring to the 4th Infantry Division AASC in April 1942, and renamed as 3rd Australian Corps Troops Supply Company. They were finally raised to their war establishment at Chidlows in October 1942. With a detachment at Bushmead, and soon after one at Morowa, the unit moved to Melville in January 1943. In March 1943 they concentrated at Armadale before moving to Werribee in April where the unit was disbanded with personnel transferred to 37th Company AASC and 38th Company AASC.
