I think they would probably provide food, munitions etc to who ever needed it, something along the lines of a Quartermaster.

A few comments:
Where did 'RSC' come from?  Could it be a misreading of 'ASC' which would be Army Service Corps, which had 'Royal' added after the end of the war to become RASC?
The Royal Corps of Signals did not exist in WW1 - its functions were performed by the Royal Engineers.
I have never heard of a Regimental Support Company.
