The following was sent to me this evening by Capt John Fallon, 36th Combat Engineer

WE all know that Rudyard Kipling wrote the Road to Mandalay, and Gunga Din and hundreds more but did you know that he wrote a poem about us.......well, not exactly but check this out.
SAPPERS
When the Waters were dried and the Earth did apear
(It's all one said the Sapper)
The Lord He created the Engineer
Her Majesty's Royal Engineer
With the Rank and Pay of a Sapper
When the Jews had a fight at the foot of a hill
Young Joshua ordered the sun to stand still
For he was a Captain of Engineers
Her Majesty's Royal Engineers
With the Rank and Pay of a Sapper
WE make 'em the bridges their wells and their huts
And the telegraph wire the enemy cuts
And it's blamed on Her Majesty's Royal Engineers
With the Rank and Pay of a Sapper
They send us up front with a fuse and a mine
To blow up the gates that are rushed by the line
Yes blown by Her Majesty's Royal Engineers
With the Rank and Pay of a Sapper
Well maybe it wasn't his best but it beats the heck out of anything we ever heard about us
