Engineer Support Regiment

Post by Johnpel »

Hello

Does anybody have any information on the Engineer Support Regiment during WW1? I have a relative who we believe was connected to the Royal Engineers and worked alongside the RFC. Did ESRs work in specific batallions or were they just posted out as required?

Any help really appreciated.

Well there was a mining section that used to dig under enemy lines to lay huge mines. These men were specially brought over from the pits.
