Ep.366 – London Territorial Sappers

Dr John Peaty examines the essential role of the Royal Engineer units within the London Territorial Force during the First World War.

His discussion sheds light on the sappers’ wide-ranging duties—from tunnelling and construction to communications and demolition—and highlights their crucial, yet often overlooked, contribution to the war effort.

This talk was part of the London Pride Conference held in June 2024.
