Celebrate,
Recognise, Extend

Being a Member
of the Institution of Royal Engineers connects you to the rich history of the Sapperhood. We have
been at the forefront of Engineering developments for centuries. The current generation of the Sapper family,
continue to push the envelope of quicker, safer and better uses of military
engineering principles and science.

Celebrate and Remember our family

Recognise – What we did then, what we do now

Extend – Our knowledge

We sadly lost 22898354
Cpl Cyril John Howsley Wroe in November 2021 Aged
89. He joined the REA in 1955 and was a Life Member of the Blackpool Branch.

 

Did you know him? Are
you related to him? Is there a family connection?

 

 

Remember
him!

 

Cpl Wroe, what did he or
a namesake do at Polygon Wood? Use
the search tool.

 

 

 

The Battle of Polygon
Wood took place from 26 September to 3 October.

How is a modern battlespace
presented?

 

 

 

 

How could we use Geographic
Engineering
to improve the presentation of a battlespace?

Maj D A
Hornby
, what did he receive a C-in-C Fleet’s Commendation for during Op
Corporate? Use the search tool.

 

We sadly lost 24189069 /
530188 Maj David Albert Hornby in January 2022 aged 70.

 

With two service
numbers, he may have moved through the ranks to become an officer, where he
would have been given a new service number.
Do officers and soldiers have different service numbers still?

 

Remember
him!

Were you involved in
Mine Clearance following Op Corporate?
What’s your story?

 

Is Mine clearance
different (harder/ easier) in certain climates?

 

Are you involved in mine
clearance as a civilian? Are there
better, quicker, safer ways to tackle this issue? What’s your story?

 

A namesake of Spr
Rutherford
– QMSI LM Rutherford was part of a diving development.

 

We sadly lost 24179956 Spr Thomas Wigan Rutherford from South Yorkshire in
November 2021 aged 69.

 

Did you know him? Are you related to him?

 

Remember
him!

 

What was the development
to diving? Use the search tool?

Have you had a past
connected to commercial diving?

 

Is a commercial diving
setup different? Do military diving
regulations match those in a commercial setting?

 

What lessons or
knowledge can we gain from
your experience
?

In March 1968 Col R C Gilliat
MBE
, had very shiny shoes. What
was his role and who did he meet?

 

377440 Col Gilliat was an Institution Member and died aged 94.

 

Remember
him!

The Institution of Royal
Engineers www.InstRE.org was established
in 1875, Incorporated by Royal charter in 1923 Patron: Her Majesty the Queen.

 

In 2012 we (other ranks)

 

What dates as a Professional
Engineering Institution (PEI)?

As a PEI we can assess
and award a range of Engineering registrations. These registrations enable your
professional level to be recognised in a military and civilian setting.

 

Our history of trenches
and tunnelling, seems, to be a thing of the past. How would we, could we, tunnel under/around
enemy positions now?

Apart from the current
situation in Ukraine, that seems to be centred around the possession of
territory, more recent conflicts didn’t have a ‘Front-line’.

Could we use RAS technology to make
the task safer, easier, quicker? Do you work within the civilian earthmoving
industry, how is it different?

 

The Queen
Elizabeth Line works
have cut a tunnel under London. Is this tunnel
boring approach a possibility in future conflict?

 

Have you worked on the
new underground line?

 

 

Starting Point

 

As a Professional
Engineering Institution (PEI), we are able to assist our Sapper family’s
development and future engineering capabilities. We support our past and currently serving
members in achieving and improving their engineering qualifications,
registration and recognition.

 

Simply being a member
of the Institution; which by the way, can be achieved as easily as
contributing to the Days-pay-scheme, enables
you to use the Post-Nominals
MInstRE.

We support and guide
current and recent members of our Corps to work towards and apply for
engineering registrations, such as:

<![endif]>Engineering Technician (EngTech)

<![if !supportLists]>·
<![endif]>Incorporated Engineer
(IEng)

<![if !supportLists]>·
<![endif]>Chartered Engineer
(CEng)

 

CPDmycareerpath(MCP)
is a CPD tool supplied through the InstRE that can
drive you towards the next engineering registration or strengthen your
current level.

 

From the very beginning of your Corps career
you can connect your training and development to the first, next and
developing engineering level.

 

Developing Knowledge

 

 

Knowledge Centre – Our Knowledge
Centre
holds and drives the science of military engineering and can be
added to by our past and currently serving
Members.

 

You can contribute, you
can discuss, you can advance!
