Time spent on the bridge hard is always time well spent! Especially when it is to visit @RMonREM - the Senior Regiment in the Army Reserve. @Proud_Sappers

This photo of me as a very youthful private solider was taken 40 years ago today on Ex Lionheart. I know that because it was the day after my 19th birthday! The Charlie G in the foreground was a special birthday gift for the platoon SPROG 😬😂

Does meccano count as non-equipment bridging 🤔

It’s always a privilege to attend a Commissioning Course Parade at @RMASandhurst. Today’s was made even more special when the Sword for Best Cadet went to a Royal Engineer from the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers 👏 @RMonREM @Proud_Sappers

The long awaited launch of Volume 13 of the Corps History at the National Army Museum @Proud_Sappers

@MungoMelvin @TheUCS473 I was a very young private soldier in 5 Queens during Lionheart. To deploy 31,000 reservists in support of this exercise was a fantastic achievement. This was back in the day when the TA was 70,000 strong and the Warsaw Pact was 1,000 miles closer.

The Royal Engineers Reserve Conference was held at Chatham last weekend. Nearly 100 people from across the Corps (Regular and Reserve) attended, including Director Reserves. As an added bonus attendees spent over £1k in the Sapper Shop!
