Completed - WW1 - REME what regiments would have formed it?
« on: Thursday 15 November 18 13:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi

A slightly odd question.

I have a distant releative who we know was in WW1.  Sadly his records did not survive and he has a relatively common name.  He told his granddaughter that he was in the REME, I’ve checked and this regiment did not come into being until 1940’s.  What would be the equivalent in 1914/18 or which units could have gone on to become it.

Hopefully this might help me discard a few more medal cards.

Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe
