Old travel Blog photograph of soldiers marching through Dundee, Scotland. The Dundee Fortress Royal Engineers was a Scottish volunteer unit of the British Army formed in 1908. Its main role was defence of the harbours and shipyards on the River Tay, but it also provided a detachment that saw active service in North Russia at the end of World War I. In the 1930s it was turned into an air defence unit, in which role it served in World War II. A brief postwar revival ended in disbandment in 1950.
