The Cornwall Fortress Royal Engineers, was a volunteer unit of Britain's Royal Engineers formed in 1908. It helped to defend the coastal towns of Cornwall, sent engineer units to work on the Western Front in World War I and served as an air defence unit during the Battle of Britain and the Plymouth Blitz in World War II. ==Precursor unit== In 1886 the War Office (WO) began organising units of 'submarine miners' in the Volunteer Force to man the fixed minefields being installed to defend British seaports. One such unit was the Falmouth Division Submarine Miners, based at Falmouth in Cornwall. However, the proposed unit was soon abandoned: no officers were ever commissioned into it, and its title disappeared from the ''Army List'' in March 1888.〔Westlake, p. 15.〕
