Sounds like someone I worked with who was in the RE in the latter days of national service, and I only found when he argued that a regiment was about 15 men ss he was in xxx Regiment RE where all of them seemed to be of no use to the army for some or other reason, in his case he was unusually tall for the time being 6,5 but of an extremely slight build and stayed there for most of his time with them trying to increase his size.
