The story of the War in Korea and of the part played by the REME
from 1950 to 1953 as told by various individuals of that Corps,
makes fascinating reading. The support and devotion to their
colleagues is most apparent, but typical of the British soldier,
these experiences are balanced with a sense of sympathy for the
unfortunate Korean civilian population caught up in the conflict,
and it wouldn't be a true story of the British soldier without its
sprinkling of 'squaddie' humour. John Dutton has provided an
excellent compilation of personal accounts in this comprehensive
story of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers at war where
the positioning of Light Aid Detachments and Field Workshops was
just as important to senior commanders in their tactical planning
as was the medical back-up of a Regimental Aid Post or a Field
Ambulance.
