Photo of the earliest French flamethrower sappers, likely dating from the summer of 1915. The handwritten note reads "1st Engineers (ex-firefighting sappers) Company 22/6, 2nd Section."
All former firefighters of the Paris Firefighting Sapper Regiment, they wear leather jackets, dark-blue trousers, and headgear called the chéchia, adopted by zouaves and colonial troops. It is not clear why flamethrower sappers would pose in this cap.
The placard reads "The wild boars of the Argonne. 2nd Section, Company 22-6. Petroleum burners." (Les sangliers de l'Argonne. 2éme section, Cie 22-6. Pétroleurs.)

As a young child I watched the daily television program "Engineer Bill". I never did ask this fellow his name, but he so reminded me of the "Engineer Bill" character that I've chosen to give him that name. He was kind enough to pose for me as well as for others. If any of you ever go out to the F&W railroad terminal in Fillmore you will find that there are lots of interesting faces among the locomotive's crew who may be willing to pose for you.

RIVERBANK, California -- The Army turned over 28 undeveloped acres to the city at an Oct. 17 ceremony.
The land was formerly property of the Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant, which closed in 2010 under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act.
Paul Cramer, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, presided over the event and joined Congressman Jeff Denham in speaking at the ceremony.
Riverbank Mayor Richard O’Brien and Brenda Johnson-Turner, Director of Real Estate for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, signed the memorandum of agreement that transferred the land to the city. The agreement formally drops responsibility of the 28 acres from the Presidio of Monterey.

Heat In Thames Water To Warm Festival Hall
By A STAFF CORRESPONDENT IN LONDON
The grey Thames water swirling past the piers of Hungerford Bridge is soon to be used to heat the great Royal Festival Hall (capacity 3.500), standing nearby on the South Bank exhibition site.
The plant, which can be described as a giant refrigerator working in reverse, is known technically as a heat-pump. It was designed by the scientific staff of the Fuel and Power Ministry as part of its fuel-conservation programme, and tests indicate that it has a thermal efficiency in the region of 150 per cent. - which means that the heat generated exceeds by one half the amount of fuel used to produce it.
Although the possibilities of the heat-pump - in principle quite a simple device - have been known for nearly a century, this is the first attempt to prove on a large scale its commercial possibilities. The high cost of pioneering and of manufacturing the considerable number of working parts required in such a heating system, which has to be specially designed to the requirements of a building, has discouraged its development by commercial firms. However, the scientists and engineers associated with the Festival Hall project say that three months of experiment have proved its efficiency and have opened up practically unlimited commercial prospects for the system.
This achievement can perhaps best be evaluated in the light of Britain's critical fuel shortage, intensified in recent months by the added strain of rearmament. Against the 150 per cent, heat efficiency of the heat-pump, the efficiency of the millions of tons of coal burnt annually in the open grates is approximately 15 per cent.; and that of the huge amount of electricity consumed by electric fires is less than 30 per cent.
The heat-pump system contains the equivalent of the main parts of the mechanical refrigerator a condenser and evaporator containing a refrigerant, also a compressor. The difference is in the layout. In a refrigerator the evaporator is in the cabinet and cools it by absorbing heat and passing it by means of the refrigerant to the condenser outside, which dissipates it into the atmosphere. In the heat-pump system the process is reversed. The liquid refrigerant, which will boil at a low temperature and pressure, is circulated through this system by the compressor.
The river water, piped through the evaporator, is of sufficient temperature to make the liquid refrigerant boil and vapourise. The vapour then passes through the compressor, which builds it up to a maximum pressure of 285 pounds a square inch in the condenser. Under pressure it condenses at a temperature of 165 Fahrenheit and releases the heat it has gained from the river water. This heat is in turn absorbed by water circulating in another system of pipes leading from the condenser to the hall, where it is finally released. The refrigerant liquid returns to the evaporator through a valve which reduces the pressure, thus turning it back into vapour, and the cycle is set off again by the initial heat absorbed from the river water.
Two Rolls Royce Merlin en- gines, modified to run off the mains gas, supply power for the system. A waste-heat boiler transfers further heat, generated by the exhausts of both Merlins, to the water circulating in the hall.
But this is not the end of the story. By a simple adjustment of the heat-pump, the roles of the condenser and the evaporator can be reversed so as to cool the hall.

Soldiers of the Utah Guard’s 624th Engineers Return from Afghanistan
The approximately 140 soldiers of the Utah National Guard’s 624th Engineer Company, 1457th Engineer Battalion, return to Utah from their 12-month deployment to Afghanistan Thursday, April 25, via charter aircraft at the Utah Air National Guard Base in Salt Lake City.
The 624th is based in Springville, with detachments in Price and Vernal. Its mission in Afghanistan was to perform vertical construction (structures and buildings) in the U.S. Central Command area of operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Twenty-seven babies (25 single births and two sets of twins) were born to wives of 624th Soldiers during the unit’s deployment to Afghanistan. These 25 Soldiers (15 of whom are first-time fathers) will be seeing their infant children for the first time on Thursday.
Soldiers arrived from overseas at Fort Hood, Texas, earlier this month and have been undergoing demobilization processing.
The Nurek Dam, located on the Vakhsh River in Tajikistan, is the tallest engineered dam in the world. The nearly 1,000-foot cement dam was completed in 1980 and the 4.0 gigawatt’s of power it generates is enough to meet 98 percent of the country’s electricity needs.
