6th Field Company First World War Memorial Plaque

A large memorial to the First World War members of 6th Field Engineer Squadron has a place of honour in the unit’s armouries. This memorial was rededicated in April 2003 as the result of their learning of a significant number of members whose names were not originally inscribed.

Addendum bequeathed by the Estate of
Lieut Christine Lucas CD (1927 – 1988)
-LEST WE FORGET –

Un imposant monument en hommage aux membres de la 6e escadron du génie ayant combattu lors de la Première Guerre mondiale occupe une place d’honneur dans le manège militaire de l’unité. Ce monument a été à nouveau inauguré en avril 2003 lorsqu’on s’est aperçu que les noms d’un nombre important de membres n’y avaient pas été inscrits.

Le texte de l’inscription figure dans la section anglaise.
