R.E.M.E. MEMORIALS. Phaleron Cemetery, Athens, Greece. Contributed by: Eric WEARMOUTH (52B) |

This
group of photos were taken by the son of Eric Wearmouth 52B on a visit to the
cemetery. Eric thought they would be of
interest to our readers and, who knows, may bring in visitors who are
interested in both R.E.M.E. and
Arborfield. ‘The
Editor’. |

Editor’s Note. The
appointment of Conductor
was carried over when certain trades and personnel were transferred from the
R.A.O.C. to R.E.M.E. on the formation of the Corps in 1942. It was one of a small group of senior
positions held in the British Army, possibly the oldest. The equivalent R.E.M.E. rank was that of
WO1 or ASM and so it was gradually faded away from R.E.M.E. with the passing
of those who held the title. |
