Of the 2nd Field Company East Anglian Divisional Royal Engineers, one of Luton's contributions to the Territorial Force, 98 per cent have volunteered for foreign service.
Steps have been taken during the last few days to enrol a new unit, and on Tuesday we were informed at the Engineers' headquarters in Napier Road, Luton, that the new unit had already been completed and many names put on a waiting list. Of the new unit, 90 per cent have volunteered for foreign service. At present they will be trained at Luton, and they are doing physical exercises and company drill daily in a field off Milton Road.
