About This Book

A regimental history that traces the formation, organization, and everyday duties of a military engineering corps, documenting establishment, pay, recruitment, uniforms, ranks and administrative practices. It follows the corps through civil and wartime employments, describing field engineering tasks, sieges, demolitions and other technical operations across several theaters, and reconstructs actions using official journals, diaries and memoranda. Emphasis is placed on the corps' own services and personnel, with collected footnotes and illustrations supplementing a narrative that acknowledges gaps and relies on surviving records to piece together its operational and institutional development.
