Chapel Detachment? (Royal Engineers)
Hi Gents,
I picked up this really nice Great War image showing a unit of the Royal Engineers, including a couple of Despatch Riders on their motorcycles. The bottom reads 'Chapel Detachment 31st Sic. Co. R.E.' I just wondered if anyone could shed light or have info on this Detachment? A long shot I know but it's such a nice image wanted to share it anyway. Cheerio, Roy

Roy,
As the 31st Signal Coy were designated as 'Leeds' I would say Chapel = Chapletown, Leeds. regards
