No Sapper Can Be Forgotten - 2016

Published November 5, 2016

As Remembrance Day approaches, time should be taken to remember those who have gone before us.

These are the members of the Engineer family whose deaths we have been able to record since our last Tribute page, No Sapper Can Be Forgotten - 2015. Many are veterans of The Second World War, Korea, the Cold War, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and many Peacekeeping Operations. All deserve our respect and gratitude.

We need your help to ensure that no Fallen Sapper is forgotten. To review the names of those we have recorded to date, go to the Last Post by Year list. If you cannot find the name you are looking for or you have information or photographs you believe should be added to an existing Last Post entry, please complete our online form Submitting Last Post Entries with as much information as possible. Photos can be attached.
