    Welcome to British-Genealogy forums
    If you came to us from FWR reading This will tell you a little about us.

    WW11 personal service records are still by the MOD so not a available online. This 'sticky' explains who can apply, what paper work you will need and where to apply.

    The National Archives site may be worth exploring for general information about the Royal Engineers. There may be war diaries.
