KONDOA Posted 8 January , 2005 Share Posted 8 January , 2005 The War Diary for 392 Road Construction Company RE is not apparent at the NA. The diary for 208 Field Company is available below: 208 Field Company Roop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionboxer Posted 9 January , 2005 Author Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Many thanks Roop. Any ideas where to go now with 392 Coy? Another one of our village sons was killed serving with this unit but not much else is known. Lionboxer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KONDOA Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Hi There, Its a bit difficult to advise ones next step. I am not sure if the modern RE keep any records or summaries of previous units. Try :-Royal Engineers Library Roop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Caldecott Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Lion Boxer, Try the RE Museum at Chatham, I found them very helpful indeed, whilst I was researching the 128 Fd Coy. Gordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDocDavies Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Lion Boxer, I concur trying the Chatham RE Museum ... I was able to purchase my copy of the Corps History (Western front) through their referral to a book seller, as well as a cap badge replica through their gift shop. The Corps history lists the Road Construction Coy still in service at the Armistice as: #301-319, #330-347, and #349 ... all in the Western Front theater. [#320-29 were Quarrying Coy, also Western Front.] None of the transportation support (rail, road or inland waterway / dock) units appear to be numbered above #349 by war's end.
