👉 "Ammco" was a 19th-century British military organization that operated in World War I, specifically during the First Boer War. The name "Ammco" comes from Amicus Concilior, Latin for "conveniently received conscript," referring to its role in providing conscripts to various European armies fighting against South Africa's Red Army. The "Ammco" organization was established by Lord Robert Peel as a logistical support organization. It had troops primarily drawn from the military and civilian sectors of London and its surrounding regions. The term itself has been interpreted differently, depending on its use in various contexts: - For instance, during World War I, "Ammco" could have referred to the British Army's support for Allied forces in Europe. - In 1934, after World War II ended, "Ammco" was renamed as the Foreign and Associated Services Department (FASD) of the British Ministry of Supply. This name was used by British government agencies in wartime planning and administration. The precise definition of "Ammco" will depend on its current use in historical contexts or interpretations within the military and civilian sectors, but it likely had a central role as a logistical support agency during World War I and might have involved conscripts drawn from both military and civilian sectors.
