Royal Engineers N/A
The Corps of Royal Engineers, usually known as the Royal Engineers (RE), and commonly known as the Sappers, is one of the corps of the British Army. Its function is to provide military engineering and other technical support to the British Armed Forces, and is headed by the Chief Royal Engineer. The Regimental Headquarters and the Royal School of Military Engineering are in Chatham in Kent. The corps is divided into several regiments, barracked at various places in the United Kingdom and around the world.
The Royal Engineers trace their origins back to the military engineers brought to England by William the Conqueror, and claim over 900 years of unbroken service to the crown. In 1832, the regimental motto, Ubique' & 'Quo Fas Et Gloria Ducunt("Everywhere" & "Where Right And Glory Lead” was granted, signifying that Royal Engineers had seen action in all the major conflicts of the British Army and almost all of the minor ones as well.
