If I had a job of bridge building to
be done any time, anywhere, efficient-
ly and With record speed, I would call
on a group of the Royal Canadian
Engineers.
It was my good fortune to see these
fellows in action and .doing a real con-,
struction job overseas, They work
like demons, A , finer body of keen,
physically fit Canadians would be bard
o find anywhere.
Engineers Role
Besides preparing for their open-
ional role when the Canadians go
into action, the Royal Canadian En-
gineers have done extensive construc-
tion and development work since their
arrival overseas.
Aerodromes, camps, roads and
buildings have been constructed and
will remain for the use of the Imperial
Army long after the war has been won
and the Canadians returned home.
Special development work on mineral
resources in the United Kingdom has
been undertaken by the Engineers and
in special cases the Tunnelling Comp-
any-recruited from the hard-rock
miners of Northern Ontario and Mani-
toba-have pierced granite mountains
to bring additional waterpower to
munitions plants.
The R. C, E. have also been work-
ing on new, secret, methods of war-
fare, Some of their projects include:
new bridging equipment for river-
crossing; camps constructed in record
time; development of Cornish tin
mines; construction of strategic roads
and by-passes; aerodrome construc-
tion; special water-diversion tunnel-
ling; Base Ordnance Workshop con-
struction, largest project ever under-
taken by Army Engineers; training in
bomb disposal work; tunnelling and
construction work in Gibralter.
Bridge Building Competition • .

I were privileged to visit them, a comp-
etition in ,bridge building was put on

Each company fielded three teams.
