verdun Posted 22 September , 2010 Share Posted 22 September , 2010 Can anyone tell me what 21st Signal Corps Company, ROYAL ENGINEERS were doing from Sept-Nov 1918 and to which Division they were attached? I think they were in 3rd Army, but I can't find them mentioned on LLT. Many thanks if you can help. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 22 September , 2010 Share Posted 22 September , 2010 Peter I assume that you mean 21 Divisional Signal Company, if so , it took its title from the Division it supported. TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdun Posted 22 September , 2010 Author Share Posted 22 September , 2010 I was quoting from the CWGC certificate, exactly as it appears: http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=248615 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 22 September , 2010 Share Posted 22 September , 2010 Peter There are only two choices: 21 Divisional Signal Company, who supported 21 Division. War Diary reference WO 95 2145 21 Corps Signal Company who served in the Middle East from 1915 to 1919. War Diary Reference WO 95 2145. It is obviously the former. CWGC references can be a bit ambiguous at times. TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armourersergeant Posted 22 September , 2010 Share Posted 22 September , 2010 Hello, I have the relevant war dairies for both division and company RE so I am able to let you know what they say. You are correct they were part of 3 Army and were advancing as part of this army in the hundred days. I note you ask a time frame but assume you would like to know what was happening around the time of the casualties death? Pm me and I will see what I can do.

Guest morris542 Posted 19 March , 2011 Share Posted 19 March , 2011 Sorry to ask another question on this thread. I'm researching a soldier who was part of "21st Coy RE" according to the CWGC entry: CWGC Is this unit the same as 21 Divisional Signal Company or another unit completely? Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 19 March , 2011 Share Posted 19 March , 2011 Morris The entry for your man refers to 21st Fortress Company RE who were stationed at Harwich. TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
