    What is a Sapper? This versaltile genius ... condensing the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical under one red jacket. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public - astronomer, geologist, surveyor, draughtsman, artist, architect, traveller, explorer, antiquary, mechanic, diver, soldier, and sailor, ready to do anything or go anywhere: in short, he is a Sapper! (even play bagpipes)

    Extract from 'History of the Royal Sappers and Miners' by Captain TWC Connolly (1857)

    "Socially, reserve military training and involvement can provide educational opportunities to many who might not otherwise have them and the socializing advantages of young and mature men and women interacting across class and racial boundaries. A system of brief universal military training and longer voluntary national service, both military and non-military, would provide the manpower base for the citizen army; but, more important, it would help reawaken a sense of citizen responsibility, civic engagement, and youth empowerment. More than any other measure, it would reestablish the necessary balance between rights and duties in a democratic society." - Former US Senator Gary Hart in his 1998 book The Minuteman – Restoring an Army of the People

    "An enduring government by the people must include an army of the people among its institutions." - John McAuley Palmer, 1941
