Types of Engineer Units in WWII

[Custermen]

Marion,

 

Great info! That table is full of useful info. Especially good to know the differences in size and function of the Map Depot and the Photomapping units.

I recently found a unit that was a QM General Service that was set up to support a large area with general things such as washing clothes and such. I have always wondered about those other rear echelon troops.

Also, there were Railway Engineers. Was that part of Engineers or QM? I guess they operated the rail network and they were "engineers" as the term applies to trains. But what kind of unit were they?

 

 

Question: You have "Light Ponton Company" . Could that be Light Pontoon Company??
