SB. 9pp This short piece of work is a summary of the development of anti-aircraft searchlights in France between 1915 and 1918. In 1915 the resources amounted to two sections each with three searchlights, which were employed for the protection of GHQ at St Omer. The narrative describes how the searchlight component of the RE grew (personnel numbered 3,000 all ranks by the end of the war) and notes the different types of projectors in service. It also describes the use of lights, their deployment, their successes and limitations on various parts of the battlefield. It concludes with a section on anticipated development had the war gone on. In the summer of 1940 the responsibility for searchlights passed to the Royal Artillery.

Add to basketCondition: New. 2006 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1926). SB. 21pp + 19 plates of drawings The Germans led the way in the construction of concrete fortifications, but a significant disadvantage from the British point of view was the lack of practical experience in that type of work on the part of the majority of engineers. Nevertheless a good deal of in situ work was done, especially for MG emplacements and OPs. The discovery of many concrete defences in the German lines captured during 1917 renewed our interest in this type of work, but again ignorance, especially in the properties of concrete or in its application to defence works led to many faulty constructions along our front. Efforts to put this right came in a Fieldworks Note issued by the Engineer in Chief drawing attention to mistakes and enunciating the main principles of reinforced concrete design. This account shows how the problems were tackled and the amount of resources put into the work. Concrete factories were built and special units were formed, "Transportation Works Companies, REâ composed of men of various trades and each numbering five officers and 257 other ranks. There are a number of plates depicting technical drawings of concrete structures.

Add to basketCondition: New. 2006 N&M Pres reprint (original pub 1926). SB. 72 pp This is a remarkably detailed review of the Royal Engineers (RE) and its varied units in peacetime and the tremendous expansion that took place during the course of the war including the formation of many new units that did not exist before the war. What is interesting is how wide were the responsibilities of the Corps, which are fully described, chapter by chapter, thus we read and learn about: bridging units, electrical and mechanical companies, tunnelling companies, forestry units, the inundation section, tramway and foreway companies (the latter being a new service, formed in March 1918, to distribute supplies forward of railhead).Then there were transportation units, the postal service, the signals service, which separated from its parent Corps in 1920 and became the Royal Corps of Signals, meteorological sections, camouflage, field survey, mapping, anti-aircraft searchlight, gas (the Special Brigade) and yet more besides. It makes for fascinating and, I am sure, very enlightening reading for many. At the end there are tables showing all these and their growth during the war and the numbers serving in the various theatres of war. The RE regulars and special reserve began the war with 1,056 officers and 10,304 men; by 1 August 1917 these figures had become 8,886 and 230,500. In this same period the TF grew from 13,640 all ranks to 56,282.

Add to basketCondition: New. 2006 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1926) Sb. 49pp with five photos and 21 plates The idea of forming a Camouflage Section in the BEF was first suggested at GHQ in the winter of 1915, following the success of the work of the French Camouflage Section in Amiens, whose workshop was visited by British officers. The chief means of camouflage was the painted screen, and as a result of a visit to France by a professional artist and his advice, volunteers were called for from the troops in France with experience of theatrical work, such as scenic artists, stage carpenters, workers in cardboard etc. These assembled at St Omer under an officer in January 1916 pending the fitting up of a building in Wimereux. Thus was born the camouflage service. This account goes on to give details of the first establishments and subsequent increases in establishment. The Camouflage Service was represented at GHQ, Army and Corps HQs and depots were set up corps areas and camouflage factories were formed in Army areas. By the time the war ended camouflage was âbigâ in France and Flanders as this account reveals. American and French work in this field is also featured as well as German methods. At the end are tables of statistics showing quantities of stores and materials used.

Add to basketCondition: New. 2006 N&M reprint (original pub 1926). SB. 30pp This section begins by noting the complete lack of Engineer intelligence regarding the Western Theatre of War before 1914. An old, 1906 report confirmed that the roads in Belgium were paved or macademised, while all it said about the Meuse was that its current was swift in places while its depth was sometimes as much as 45 feet. Not a great deal of use! It then goes on to detail what information was needed and what efforts were made to get it. It also stressed the need for pamphlets and such like material for Stationery Services Publications and keeping them up to date; and fourthly was there was the requirement to obtain information on enemy field engineering methods and disseminate it. This section concludes with a series of appendices showing list of the plates of field work designs, a list of the Engineer-in-Chiefâs Field-Work notes, Classified index of Mining notes, lists of publications and a list of German field-work plates.

Add to basketCondition: New. 2006 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1926). SB. 54pp + four plates with line drawings and nine contemporary photos This volume deals with two types of RE schools established in the BEF, they were: School of Instruction - For OCs and 2ICs of Field Units, first started in the winter 1916-17; and Training School - For all ranks of the Royal Engineers, later opened to officers and NCOs of Pioneer battalions, formed early in 1917. There were two âSchools of Instructionâ, one at Le Parcq, the other at Blendecques. The staffs consisted of a Commandant (Lt Col), two instructors (Majors) and a QM. Classes were 40 strong and the course were at first of ten days duration, later extended to three weeks. The âTraining Schoolâ was at Rouen, RE Base Depot and ran different types of courses and an appendix gives the daily syllabus for the Construction course for regular RE officers (36 days). One of the plates has a detailed drawing of the school showing all the facilities.The text describes all the subjects taught and explains the photos and the plates.
