::''Not to be confused with 549th (Lancashire) Field Company, active during World War I'' 549th Electrical and Mechanical Company was a unit of the British Royal Engineers (RE) formed during World War II. It served in North West Europe, where it repaired damaged infrastructure. ==Origin== Whereas the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers maintained vehicles and complex weapons and equipment, the RE's E&M companies worked with heavy electrical engineering plant, such as generators and pumps. Although termed a Company, 549 E&M Co often only had a strength of just 3 officers and 28 other ranks.〔549 E&M Co War Diary, 1944, The National Archives (TNA), Kew file WO 171/1641.〕 The unit's war diary begins in April 1944, when it was based at 43 Albemarle Cresecent, Scarborough. It moved to Arncott Depot for training, where it came under the command of No 11 Lines of Communication Area which would play a crucial role in maintaining the beachhead once the invasion of mainland Europe (Operation Overlord) began.〔〔Ellis, Appendix IV, p. 532.〕〔Pakenham-Walsh, pp. 357–9 & 368.〕
