Wow, that is a great article. I'm looking for information on the 1st drilling (or tunneling) company. My Mom know very little about her father, who served in the RCE during wwii, but was not killed in action. I have what I believe to be a military ID (b28379). His name is Thomas Glyn Bowen. Thanks for any info or links you may have.

I am looking for information on my Great Grandfater, Archibald Everett Critchley who was with the Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers in WWII. I have some basic information but am trying to put together a full perspective on him and the rest of my family. If anyone has any information regarding him and his service (also history of the corps in Italy), I would really appreciate it.
