Can anyone help me locate the overseas deployment of the Royal Enginners c1844 -1867
I have a service record that puts the corps in Bermuda, Cape of Good Hope & Briish North America but with no specific dates. :?:

Not for nothing do the RE share their corps motto with the Artillery: Ubique (Everywhere). Thus you will find some Engineers wherever the Army was stationed throughout the Victorian era. If you need to research a specific soldier, then there may be other ways of doing it, but they were never all in the same place at the same time.

Cheers,

John
