Field Companies and Battalions, Canadian Engineers

Introduction Throughout most of the war, each had three field companies of engineers and one battalion. In April 1918, however, a major reorganization took place and, as a result, each division had an Engineer consisting of three engineer battalions and a pontoon bridging transport unit. Each of the battalion was composed of a headquarters and four companies, three of which were organized for general engineering work and the fourth for tunneling and mining. The nucleus of each new battalion was provided by one of the field companies and one third of a pioneer battalion.
