	Royal Engineers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Corps of Royal Engineers (RE), commonly known as the Sappers, is one of the corps of the British Army.
		Engineers have always served in the armies of the Crown, however the origins of the modern corps, along with those of the Royal Artillery, lie in the Board of Ordnance established in the 15th century.
		In 1787, the Corps of Engineers was granted the Royal prefix and adopted its current name and in the same year a Corps of Royal Military Artificers was formed, consisting of non-commissioned officers and privates, to be officered by the RE.

	MILITARY ENGINEERS - LoveToKnow Article on MILITARY ENGINEERS
		HistoryIt is difficult to distinguish between military and civil engineers in the earlier ages of modern history, for all engineers acted as builders of castles and defensible strongholds, as well as manufacturers and directors of engines of war with which to attack or defend them.
		But after the rebellion of 1715 it was decided to separate the artillery from the engineers, and the royal warrant of 26th May 1716 established two companies of artillery as a separate regiment, and an engineer corps composed of I chief engineer, 3 directors, 6 engineers-in-ordinary, 6 engineers extraordinary, 6 sub-engineers and 6 practitioner engineers.
		On the 18th of November 1782 engineer grades, except that of chief engineer, were abolished, and the establishment was fixed at I chief engineer and colonel, 6 colonels commandant,.6 lieutenantcolonels, 9 captains, 9 captain lieutenants (afterwards second captains), 22 first lieutenants, and 22 second lieutenants.

	Australian Army Engineer Musuem and Heritage Park
		The earliest of the forerunners of the Royal Australian Engineers was the Corps of Engineers founded in the colony of Victoria by Captain (later Major-General Sir) Peter Scratchley, on the evening of Thursday, 15 November 1860, at a meeting held at the Duke of Rothesay Hotel in Melbourne.
		All also opted to adopt the Royal Engineers practice of calling their private soldiers "Sappers", in recognition of the fact that the very earliest engineers had been primarily concerned with driving saps or tunnels both towards the enemy lines, and underneath his fortifications.
		On 27 September, 1907, Royal assent was given for the granting of the title "Australian Engineers" until 31 January, 1936 when the Corps was constituted as the Corps of Royal Australian Engineers embracing both regular and citizen units.

		In 1856 the Royal Engineers and the Sappers and Miners amalgamated, and became known as the Corps of Royal Engineers with its headquarters at Chatham.

	Juno Beach Centre - Royal Canadian Engineers
		In the mobile warfare conducted by the Canadian Army in Europe from 1943-45, their role required the engineers to work alongside other combat troops at the front, under fire, to open routes for the tanks and infantry to continue their assaults.
		In general, while the divisional engineers worked to open routes for attacking troops as expeditiously as possible, more permanent road construction, bridging, and obstacle clearance was left to the Corps and Army Troops.
		The most significant lesson for the engineers was the need for an armoured assault vehicle that would enable them to lay explosive charges for the clearance of concrete and other obstacles under fire without suffering prohibitive casualties.
