Hi Ade!!

Thanks for the fast reply!!
No mention of 666 AW Coy,RE in the 53 (W) orbat?

No,I have yet to obtain his service records,but I have aquired
a discharge leave Certificate which is stamped with these 2 units with
his testimonial on it,by the OC of 666 AW Coy RE.

AW Coy = Artisan Works Company

You may get a result from the Corps of Royal Engineers Museum. There was a 663 AW Coy in 53 (Welsh) Division, which is only 3 out.

Hi,
Thanks for the help!
I'll try the RE Museum and see what I get there.The Stamp of the unit is definatly 666 AW Coy,and the division is hand written in in bold capitals,so the unit must be there somewhere.
Regards,Lynton.
