At about this time 77 years ago, Sappers were amongst those ‘First In’ on the deadly Normandy beaches to Clear the Way for the start of a global liberation #muddyoldengineers @NormandyVets @Proud_Sappers @ReaController

@FourGatesGlos And a fine morning it is too 🌞

...They went with songs to the battle,they were young,
Straight of limb,true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe....At the going down of the sun,and in the morning,we will Remember them #AnzacDay2021

The first Branch meeting for some time... with a difference. Somebody said something about ‘adapt & overcome’ ... so we went to the pub @Proud_Sappers @ReaController #Veterans

Spoke to a fellow Sapper today who began his journey in 1 Training Battalion in Merebrook Camp, Malvern before its move to Cove. Intrigued to follow that story with Stan @Proud_Sappers @1RSMERegt @MalvernGazette @3countiesshows

On this day in 1872 the first FA Cup Final was played with Wanderers beating the Royal Engineers 1-0. RE lost again in 1874 to Oxford University 2-0 before finally lifting the trophy in an 1875 replay against Old Etonians 2-0 (first match drawn 1-1) @Proud_Sappers @FACupFinal
