27 Squadron
This is the main page for the squadron or unit. More info will be added here as I get the time, but for now it's a "base" for establishing comms with other members of the same unit. You can post messages for other members of the same unit using the messages link above this blurb, and you can also search for other members of this unit. Once you find them, click on their name to send an email direct to them. Please note that this website doesn't "remember" your emails, they are sent direct from you to the recipient without sappers.co.uk getting in the way. That helps you get in touch quickly and it keeps everything simple and free. Have fun. Gordon

3 TRRE
This was the old training regt based in Southwood Camp, so it's not applicable to those from post-1970, I would think.
I had this message from Ian Chappell in November 2013 -
"I served at 3TRRE from 1954 to 1957, it was then known as Guillemot Barracks, Cove, Hants. I was Squadron Chief Clerk 'B' Squadron. It was located adjacent to Hawley Lake where I took my waterman ship course whilst stationed at9 TRRE which was at Southwood Barracks, Cove where I did all my basic and Field Engineer training. I was also trained at 1 TRRE at Malvern, Worcs and 6 TRRE at Norton Barracks at Worcester. I enlisted in 1953"

CVHQ
This page is here so you can add CVHQ to your service history. I had the following from Perry Dawson, but if you can tell me more then please drop me an email.
CVHQRE is central volunteer headquarters Royal Engineers. They were mainly Regular Soldiers, based at Minley manor. Supported by NRPS and members of 111 Engr as and when required ( advance / rear party, G10, collecting vehicles etc) They were the admin and training wing for all the TA specialist units based there. (111 Engr Regt comprised of 130 & 120 Fld Sqns, 198 park Sqn and attached Personnel). Plus you had the STRE Units.From the training side, CVHQRE had CI, SMI and PSI's. Admin had Chief Clerk, pay, joining instructions etc.
QM, RQMS etc was also based at Minley. The PSI Chef was borrowed from 1 & 3 training Regt accross the road at Gib Barracks.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Perry Dawson, (Donkey)
