You truly cant discount this class of warrior. Armies that neglected to field them usually suffered massive casualties. Consider the example of Marshal Ney during the retreat from Russia. What was left of his army had to find a frozen river to cross because the pontiniers were not found in his divisions. While pursued by Cossacks and shifting ice.
We Sapper's Are really the jack of all trades & master's of all jobs put in front of them ,plus we're first in & last out..most mines we're detected by a prodder into the earth at 30° degree's to the ground you either hit the side or slide across the top..
Brilliant documentary series. They don't make them like this, anymore. Thank you so much for this! :D

Napoleon called Marshall Ney the bravest of the brave.

Awesome Video!
I was on the MGB build that you see on here, we spent hours building it, only to have about 10 seconds on the programme, well disappointed.
Hours, you can build one in 90 mins 🤣🤣🤣 I could have been on the bridge train, sleeping in my cab
Harrah for the CRE!
Without this Sapper,Tank can't move on.
If I ship out, it will be either as a cav scout or a sapper, either a bridge engineer or a sapper that blows crap up!
