Line regimental pioneers C1914
Did all line infantry regiment have pioneers in the pre 1914 era? I cannot recall ever having seen the crossed axes sleeve badge on a highland regiment soldier for example.

Hi CB, I know the Royal Scots had a pioneer regiment WW1 , I’m sure other Scottish regiments would of had but your right you don’t see pictures showing the axes on Scottish regiments.

Well, the pioneer badge was in bullion for Sergeants, but in white worsted for ORs. The RWF seems to be one of the few regiments that actually put out pioneers, replete with white aprons etc.
One just does not see any photos or paintings of most other line regiments of the era with pioneers. CB
