Bonjour Didier,

 

Since nobody has answered your questions, I’ll jump in.

 

10 ‘12 = October, 1912

R.E. = Royal Engineers

1 = the rack number, i.e., which rifle this was for accounting procedures; Bayonets were also usually numbered similarly, so that the same bayonet (which fitted properly) was always paired with the correct rifle.

3  S. T. = Third (company?) S(upply?) Train or Transport? I am guessing at these abbreviations.

I’m sure that an expert will be along soon to correct my errors.

 

Regards,

JMB

Tough one, so many RE units. Been looking at S for Signals or T for Telegraph but nothing obvious, but in 1912 Telegraph became Signals in the RE.

 

JMB - did you download the 1932 armourers data?
