RE 36th (Ulster) Divisional Signals Company 16th Oct 1915 The Derby Scheme 1st November 1915 Pioneering work  16th Btn. Royal Irish Rifles A Royal Engineers Field Company was placed under the command of No 2 Company, possibly to operate a saw-mill and speed up the supply of timber components for the defence lines. Other work taken on by the Battalion made it necessary to attach a Royal Engineer Signalling Company to No 1 Company under Captain Shepperd to assist with overall communications. An inspection of work on the 22nd November resulted in further work responsibilities over another 8 miles of trenches in the direction of Toutencourt to Authie and reconstruction of rain damaged trenches near Arqueues. It was a bitterly cold winter but the work had to continue and the men were issued with sheepskin and goatskin coats (jerkins) which helped in the biting winds. They also built new stables for the transport animals which had to stand out at night. Snow fell on the 15th November followed by a thaw with melting snow and heavy rain making working conditions much more difficult. Unlike their comrades in the forward trenches the men could return to warm and dry billets at night. There was an inspection by the ADMS on the 18th November as concern mounted regarding the health of the men working in such difficult conditions. (Assistant Director of Medical Services). On Sunday 28th November the Battalion had a whole day off. It was a fine day and the roads were frost bound and easy for walking so visits to local villages took place in pleasant surroundings. 4th of November 1915 More Moves 6th of November 1915 Brigade Movements 25th of November 1915 Orders 27th of November 1915 Move 1st Dec 1915 Derby Scheme Armlets 11th Sep 1915 Last day of Derby Scheme Recruitment 19th of December 1915 Movement Instructions 10th Jan 1916 Group System Reopens 16th of January 1916 Building Huts and Railways 8th of February 1916 Shelling   9th of February 1916 Villages Shelled   9th February 1916 Call Ups 14th of February 1916 Mine Blown   15th of February 1916 Digging and Mending   16th of February 1916 Collapsing Trenches   18th of February 1916 Lots of MG Fire   19th of February 1916 Under Heavy Fire   21st of February 1916 Active German Patrols   23rd of February 1916 Weather Turns   25th of February 1916 Heavy Snow and a German Patrol   26th of February 1916 A Store Burns   27th of February 1916 36th Divisional Artillery Arrive 28th of February 1916 Changes to the Front   29th of February 1916 Active Aeroplanes   1st of March 1916 Reorganisation   2nd of March 1916 Very Strong Enemy Wire   3rd of March 1916 Divisional Artillery Relieved   15th July 1918 Working Parties If you can provide any additional information, please add it here.
