Formed in 1939, ill equipped, no great training but with a serious job to do. Between 1940 and 1953, 326 lost their lives. Through their determination knowledge was learned on fusing systems and procedures put in place which saved countless lifes later. The unit now named 33 Explosive Ordnance Disposal still operates in all operational zones. I run the BD/EOD website and am interested in any stories photos ect that people can share.

Cheers
Pete
