That seems to be standard throughout the Armies of the world. The Engineers wanted Tradesmen and men with construction experience, something that the average 18 year old didn't have in 1944. The Seabees also had a higher average age amongst their men for the same reason.
That's an interesting pic of the circular tent...it appears to be camoflaged with paint, unless those are are water stains. I've seen many pics of the Canadian circular tent, but all have been mono-chromatic. Thanks for the pics.
