28 AMPHIBIOUS ENGINEER REGIMENT
WORKSHOP REME
1971 – 1992
🇬🇧 Don Allen wrote: 🇬🇧
The shield shown here of 28 Amphibious Engineer Regiment Workshop REME was designed at the request of the Commanding Officer, as a project, by me in 1977. I was, then, Artificer Staff Sergeant Don Allen REME. It shows the M2 Amphibious Rig above the Pied Piper, separated by the REME colours, blue, yellow and red. To the left is the spearhead of 1st Corps Troops and the right the Trident of 28 Amphibious Engineer Regiment RE. There had not been a unit shield for the workshop until then and later my design was used for a number of other army units including 6 Armoured Workshop REME in Munster.
Thanks Don Allen for your great information about your designed Sign!

Das hier gezeigte Schild des 28 Amphibious Engineer Regiment Workshop REME wurde 1977 auf Anfrage des kommandierenden Offiziers als Projekt von mir entworfen. Ich war damals Artificer Staff Sergeant Don Allen REME. Es zeigt das M2 Amphibious Fahrzeug über dem Rattenfänger, getrennt durch die REME-Farben Blau, Gelb und Rot. Links ist die Speerspitze der Truppen des 1. Korps und rechts der Dreizack des 28 Amphibious Engineer Regiment RE. Bis dahin hatte es kein Einheitsschild für die Werkstatt gegeben und später wurde mein Entwurf für eine Reihe anderer Armeeeinheiten verwendet, darunter auch für das
6 Armoured Workshop REME in Munster.
Danke, Don Allen, für Deine tollen Informationen über das von Dir designte Wappen!
