When did the Squadrons of Engineers of the 10th Armoured Division arrive in North Africa? Is a Field Squadron the same as a Field Company, but for armoured units? Is a Field Park Squadron the same as a Field Park Company, but for armoured units?

Field Squadrons: 21.11.41 - 10.06.43: 2 22.09.42 - 15.05.44: 3 11.06.43 - 31.05.44: 622 Field Park Squadron: 20.11.41 - 01.04.44: 141 And yes, Field Squadrons and Field Park Squadrons shared the same War Establishmants as the Companies respectively.

Thanks. The Trux link is dead, that is why I asked here. Don't horrify me! Trux has transferred his valuable information to this site in August 2010. Look here: http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/engineers/28502-field-engineers.html
