Closed Stop 23 Pioneer Regt from being disbanded in defence cuts

Closed on

The Pioneer is a fully-adaptable and capable soldier – nowhere can you find such a multi-skilled set of soldiers.

Please save one of the oldest, most outstanding and hard working Regiments in the British Army and stop the defence cuts and let natural wastage run its course!
The first record of Pioneers in a British army goes back to 1346.
It is great shame that the Government is making redundant many of the soldiers who wish to make the army their career. To them the Army is more than just a job it is their life!

Please sign to show your support to this Regiment.
IT MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE DISBANDED!
