Welcome; Gentlemen of the Corps

I am developing this site because I'm a sapper and I know how hard it can be to find old friends, I'd like this to be the place to find anyone who served with you in the Royal Engineers. This site is free, paid for by me and hopefully always will be. To search for another Royal Engineer, use the Member Search link above this blurb. 

Part 2 Orders - You will not show up as a member of this site until you record some details of the squadrons or units you've served with in your work history.

You can create a service record for yourself and then use that to find old friends from the same units you were in. Everything is organised by posting, for example if you served in Nienburg at 7 Field Sqn then you can select Nienburg, then that will offer you the units that were stationed there. From there, you can select 7 Sqn and you will be presented with a sqn history, a list of other people on this site who have served in 7 Sqn (which you can filter by start and end year) and a message board so you can get in contact with each other.

Only registered members can see email contact details for other users, or gain access to the chat link.  All you need is an email address, you do NOT give your postal address, bank details or any other personal stuff.  We're sappers, not bankers.  To get to the right forums, just select the right squadron from the Sqn link or the member search link, there should be a forum created for every individual unit.

If you already run a website for a particular squadron, please email me so I can add a link to it on the correct page. This site is more of an "address book" for Royal Engineers, rather than a big community site, so you'll still need those individual unit sites for all the photos, chit-chat, memories etc.  If you run your own business, please let me know and I'll add your company details to the Businesses page so you get some free advertising. I believe that we should do what we can to support our community, and if you need something then perhaps you could look on there and see if there's a member of the Corps who can supply it.  That's it for now, good luck finding your old mates.  If you find someone - please drop me an email just to say "I've found an old mate/ 2 mates/ 3 mates etc" please, otherwise I don't know if this site is actually serving any purpose.  Hurrah for the CRE

REgards,

Gordon
