Sapper work – Digging In!

Will Mac, 19/02/202212/09/2025

A few posts ago I mentioned that I was trying to research into a small issue (slight bit of Scottish understatement there) that I had with the the Royal Engineers official history where it relates to the activities of the RE Mounted Units.

Its been an interesting take on things and it has been worth digging in to the whole activities and the item in the official history, while given as a statement for the whole war may actually relate to an actual snapshot in time.

As with all of these types of things, it leads you further and further in the research.

So are we making headway? Yes we are but it does lead to more questions. which is why I enjoy doing this type of thing, it is also a good diversion from my work and allows me to focus on other things.

There will be more to come on this as things progress…….
