Lis. Was your ancestor Herbert ANTROBUS of French descent by an chance. If he was RCA could stand for "Regiment de Cuirassiers d'Afrique" or basically Horse Cavalry. Or if he was in America it could stand for Reformed Church of America. and it could also stand for Royal Canadian Artillery Hope one of these helps.
