"The rapid tempo of war had led to an increasing speed in the development of equipment. It is probably true that such developments moved at a more rapid rate during the recent war than ever before in the annals of history. In no arm or service of the fighting forces has this development been greater than in the Engineers." - General Sir Thomas A. Blamey

This publication describes the work and achievements of the Royal Australian Engineers throughout the duration of the Second World War. It includes a list of Engineers involved in campaigns during the war, a list of those who were presented with decorations and awards, and a memoriam list of those who lost their lives.

A particular feature of this book are the range of photographs taken in the Middle East, and the sketches and paintings by Sgt. J.A. Salt which document the work the Royal Australian Engineers were involved in, in Borneo and Australia during the War.
