Hello All
I have recently come across the grave of my husbands Grandfather. It reads "Sapper Royal Engineers". However I am now a little confused as his service papers state that he was a Private in the 4th Pioneers Battalion until his discharge in 1918. Does anyone know if this is one of the same?
Admittedly, I have only researched via the internet, but have found nothing to explain my confusion. According to family history he was a light horseman. I must apologise for my ignorance, but can any one shed some light this
