For many years, the Journal has been a great source of information and a means to keep in touch, as well as providing an extensive archive of what we've been up to. Let's keep it going.
Roll of Honour
There are two sets of data on this page:
- A Roll of Honour reference document (PDF) which is dedicated to the men of the Royal Engineers Airborne Forces who gave their lives in the service of their country.
- An index of obituaries, which is listed alphabetically by surname. Use the alphabetic shortcut links to jump to a specific section.
A poppy on any of the index images below indicates that person lost their life while on active service
