    Hi Bry

    Often it is easier for others to see what you need if you upload copies of the documents, as misreads do happen

    Possible at random

    The Royal Logistic Corps has a digital archive including the Pioneer Corps War Diaries. A quick check seems to show they hold the Diaries (or it may be a precis of the Diary) for all the Companies you listed. It looks as though the charge is £3.50 per Diary to download.

    Edited. It is a summary of the War Diary but it will be something to get you going.
