menright Posted 13 July , 2009 Share Posted 13 July , 2009 I am trying to obtain information on this Coy during the period July- December 1916 (in particular 3118 Driver Verner Eldred Smithwick, killed 7 December 1916). If it is in Bean's vol III I am unable to locate it. The usual AWM personal records have been accessed. I think the 12th Field Coy Engineers were attached to the 4th Australian Division AIF. I'm afraid my general lack of knowledge is getting in the way of things. Would anyone be able to give me some advice on this lot? 1. the organisational structure of the engineers in general and where a coy would fall into the scheme of things 2. the relationship between the engineers and the infantry 3. the difference, if any, between engineers and pioneers Thank you, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David B Posted 13 July , 2009 Share Posted 13 July , 2009 Michael, if you go to www.awm.gov.au and enter 12th field Field Coy Engineers in the search box you should find all that they have on his organization. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
