There's only one Corps that's perfect, that's us - Kipling
Sappers have a pround history of service, being the oldest of corps. As Sappers have served in every campaign and performed a variety of tasks, they carry no battle honours, apart from Ubique (latin for everywhere). This honour is worn by every Sapper on their collar dogs (see footer), below a petard and nine flames (gunners have seven flames and, for them, we like to think ubique means all over the place.)
