    Hi All

    This question I guess is aimed at Sapper.
    I've recently obtained a Royal Engineers
    photo album (apparently). One of the
    pictures has a couple of guys standing
    by a sign with "50 RHU Armourers Workshop"
    on it, I think this is at the tail end of the
    war as there is another sign stating
    "If This Is Your Last Journey Have You
    Immobilized" so I am guessing its in Northern
    Europe somewhere.

    Loads of pictures of various knocked out
    tanks in the Desert, also an interesting
    one of a captured Valentine tank with
    German markings on it knocked out.

    Can you help with the unit Sapper?

    Cheers
    Kieron

    Found out what RHU stands for:-
    Reinforcement holding unit

    Why were these units created?
    Did you get sent here before you
    were given orders/regiment/unit to
    go?

    Can't seem to be able to crack this
    one.

    Help anyone?

    Cheers
