British Military in Van Diemen’s Land

Military engineers had a long history of involvement in British warfare; Cromwell’s army included six engineers. Constituted under the Board of Ordnance, the designation Royal Engineers was nominated in 1787, second only to the Royal Artillery in precedence. Unlike other requirements, the Royal Engineers required educational training and competence.
