Synopsis

This book outlines the functions and organization of the Royal Engineers during peace and war. The author concentrates on field units and their work with other military divisions, such as cavalry and infantry. These units include field troops and companies, bridging trains, survey companies, and printing companies. The book also discusses the role of engineers in fortress warfare, on the lines of communication, and at bases. Introduced in 1910, war establishments are described, as well as the number of units that can be formed as required for any particular campaign. The author makes a point of emphasizing that work carried out by the Royal Engineers often requires the assistance of other arms, especially the infantry and the Royal Artillery. Engineers are trained as infantry but are, above all, fighting soldiers who perform vital non-combat duties that enable other divisions to function more effectively. Engineers can assist other military groups with demolitions, mines, blocking roads, bridging, making roads, and communications, as well as a variety of other tasks that military action demands.
