The Sappers Really Need No Tribute From Me; Their Reward Lies In The Glory Of Their Achievement. The More Science Intervenes In Warfare, The More Will Be The Need For Engineers In Field Armies; In The Late War There Were Never Enough Sappers At Any Time. Their Special Tasks Involved The Upkeep And Repair Of Communications; Roads, Bridges, Railways, Canals, Mine Sweeping. The Sappers Rose To Great Heights In World War Ii And Their Contribution To Victory Was Beyond All Calculations.

On The Eve Of This Great Adventure I Send My Best Wishes To Every Soldier In The Allied Team. To Us Is Given The Honour Of Striking A Blow For Freedom Which Will Live In History; And In The Better Days That Lie Ahead Men Will Speak With Pride Of Our Doings.
