ROYAL ENGINEERS

The Royal Engineers are a British army regiment. They had some kind of existence as far back as 1683 but were made part of the ordnance by an Order of Council in 1717. The regiment was reorganised in 1788 and renamed the Corps of Royal Engineers. The Royal Engineers are concerned with mining and building work, but are also called upon to fight as infantry.
