Notes: 1. Full details of the Royal Engineers role in the Great War can be viewed here. 2. In June 1918, all personnel then serving with RE transportation units were allocated new regimental numbers. Original numbers were superseded by a new six figure number, prefixed ‘WR/’ to signify ‘Waterways & Railways’.
