Books of Remembrance of Royal Canadian Engineer and Canadian Military Engineer

Three Books of Remembrance of Royal Canadian Engineer and Canadian Military Engineer record the names of Canadian Engineers who lost their lives on active service during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean Conflict. The originals of the Second World War and Korea Books of Remembrance are held, with those of other Engineers of the Commonwealth, in the Royal Engineers (Kitchener)Memorial Chapel in St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, England. Copies of the books and many other commemoratives to fallen sappers are on display at the CME Museum. The names of the fatalities of the Second World War RCAF Construction and Maintenance Units are found in Deller's Book: “Per Ardua ad Usquam, History of the CMUs and 1 CEU.” In addition, the names of all RCAF Second World War fatalities are recorded in “They Shall Not Grow Old - A Book Of Remembrance” by Hayward and Allison (but it is difficult to identify the Engineers). A separate book listing those Canadian Military Engineers who have died in the service of peace with either United Nations or NATO operations is displayed in the CME Museum.
