18th Field Company - RCE

[Jordan Baker]

Hi everyone

Usually Field Engineer coy's never really used stuff that big such as Churchill AVRE and these bunker busters. They most likely would have worked with the units that used them.

In the after action report I posted there is mention of armoured D-7's. These were Catapillar Dozers that had been armoured for working in areas that small arms fire would be incountered. Ive included pictures of both and armoured one at work somewhere in Normandy along with and un-armoured (normal) version.

These units also used Jeeps, Otter LRC, 15cwt trucks along with 60cwt. Each platoon would have been trained for a different job. Hence you get the bridging, assualt, road maint etc.
