I have searched extensively to discover which section of the R.E. is shown on the MIC clip below.

I have found two possibilities :

Roads, and Railway Operating Division - can anyone give an authoritative  answer please?

There is an error on the card. The actual roll shows WR/272336 which was  issued in 1918 when the WR pre-fixed numbers were introduced. No 270777, his original RE number, was issued  in 1916.

Thanks for that Terry,

I had seen the rolls but wasn't aware that the WR prefix wasn't introduced until 1918.
