    WORKSHOPS

    Workshops existed at all levels from brigade upwards. They were intended to carry out
    repairs beyond the skills, equipment or capacity of units and LAD’s. As more specialised
    equipment was introduced, particularly electronics, more specialised workshops were
    required.

    Labour will be provided by prisoners of war or Pioneer Corps on the basis of two sections per Reclamation Detachment.

    Reclamation Detachments were formed to inspect vehicles at back loading parks. They had lists of parts which were in short supply in the theatre. They identified these parts and removed them from vehicles that were not worth repairing. Parts were then issued to RASC and REME workshops. Early in the campaign 70% of base workshop needs were met by reclamation.

    Remains of vehicles were sent to a Help Yourself Park where any unit might take parts such as springs or mudguards.

    The above note explains the function of this unit in 21 Army Group. C.A. is Coastal Artillery, which did operate radar. However 21 Army Group did not have Coastal Artillery. Since Coastal Artillery had little to do and radio maintenance units were in short supply it would seem that they were redeployed.
