50 RHU Armourers Workshop

Hi All

This question I guess is aimed at Sapper.
I've recently obtained a Royal Engineers
photo album (apparently). One of the
pictures has a couple of guys standing
by a sign with "50 RHU Armourers Workshop"
on it, I think this is at the tail end of the
war as there is another sign stating
"If This Is Your Last Journey Have You
Immobilized" so I am guessing its in Northern
Europe somewhere.

Loads of pictures of various knocked out
tanks in the Desert, also an interesting
one of a captured Valentine tank with
German markings on it knocked out.

Can you help with the unit Sapper?

Cheers
Kieron

Reinforcement holding unit

Found out what RHU stands for:-
Reinforcement holding unit

Why were these units created?
Did you get sent here before you
were given orders/regiment/unit to
go?

Can't seem to be able to crack this
one.

Help anyone?

Cheers
Kieron
