Royal Engineers Association

The Royal Engineers Association was formed by the amalgamation of the original Royal Engineers Association and the Royal Engineers Benevolent Fund Ltd.  The original Royal Engineers Association was founded in 1912 under the name of The Royal Engineers Old Comrades Association.  Its name was changed to the Royal Engineers Association in 1952.  The Royal Engineers Benevolent Fund Ltd was originally established as the RE Charitable Fund in 1868 and changed its name to the RE Benevolent Fund in 1943.


The Aims of The Association may be interpreted to be:

To promote and support the Corps among members of the Association in the following ways:
 
By fostering esprit de corps and a spirit of comradeship and service.
By maintaining an awareness of Corps traditions.
By acting as a link between serving and retired members of the Corps
To provide financial and other assistance to serving and former members of the Corps, their wives, widows and dependants who are in need through poverty.
To make grants, within Association guidelines, to the Army Benevolent Fund and to other charities which further the objectives of the Association.

Membership is open to all men and women are eligible for who have served or are serving in the Corps of Royal Engineers, including the Reserve Army.  Serving officers and soldiers who subscribe to the Day's Pay Scheme are automatically Life Members.  Former Sappers who have not contributed to the Days Pay Scheme may apply for Life Membership by contacting HQ REA (See Website below).
