Tony try this link
www.btinternet.com/~ian.a.paterson/battles1943.htm It is 7 armoured brigade which is Royal engineers (the rat is still the emblem worn today)
Hope this helps, also not sure if its important or not but 1010 dock was bombed during pearl harbour, your great uncle wouldnt have been seconded there by any chance?
