Cpl. Albert M. Lawer MM.
British Army 81st Field Company Royal Engineers
from:Newlyn Cornwall
Albert Laweris not a relative but I have his Military Medal. He came from a mining area. Was he a miner and was the 81st a Company involved in Tunneling?
Editor's Note: Like the Pioneers, the Field Engineers would have assisted with the Divisions offensive and defensive preparations. The Division had 4 Field Companies. It is more likely that if he were involved in tunneling in a major capacity he would have been with one of the RE Tunneling Companies and not a Field Company doing more general engineering (trenches, railways, roads etc. but also some tunneling)
