RE Norfolk
« on: Friday 27 January 23 16:43 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon everyone

I've recently been able to access some adoption records, and against father's name, it says he was a soldier, Norfolk RE.

I wondered if this is Royal Engineers?  I had a quick google but was unable to find anything directly related.  Timeframe is second world war.

Any help or suggestions gratefully received.

Thank you!

Thanks Rosie.  I think it will be Royal Engineers, but just wanting to make sure
