Great bit of Corps History there @CorpsSM Good to see the ‘Angry Bull’, our legacy from the inspirational and visionary Gen Percy Hobart. However did you know that he also raised the 11th Armoured Division before the 79th, their image lives on in 11 Bde

General Charles Gordon, Corps Legend. From his exploits that led to his nickname Chinese Gordon to his accomplishments in Sudan where he is known as Gordon of Khartoum, plenty to learn. #knowyoursappers victorianweb.org/history/empire… pic.twitter.com/8lQLf2wR86

'The Sapper as Artist' opens February 5th! Sappers were taught military sketching to help their work as surveyors and map makers, but their extraordinary artworks show just how creative they could be!
Included in standard admission prices, see re-museum.co.uk/the-sapper-as-… for details. pic.twitter.com/RxeqZ1PikF
