Regiment Description:

The 223rd (Leeds) Field Company, served with 31st Division. The units concentrated at South Camp, Ripon in April and May 1915. Training was difficult due to severe shortages of arms, ammunition and equipment. In September they moved to Fovant on Salisbury Plain for final training for service in France. Advance parties had already crossed the channel when the division was ordered to Egypt in December, accompanied by the artillery of 32nd Division in exchange for their own Divisional artillery. They sailed for Egypt in December and took over No 3 Sector of the Suez Canal. They were recalled to France and sailed to Marseilles during the first week of March for service on the Western Front. Their first action being the attack on Serre in on the 1st of July during The Battle the Somme. They were also in action during The Battle of the Ancre and in 1917 the Operations on the Ancre before moving north to Arras for The Third Battle of the Scarpe and The Capture of Oppy Wood. In 1918 they saw action in The Battle of St Quentin, The Battle of Bapaume, The First Battle of Arras, they moved north to Flanders and took part in The Battle of Estaires, The Battle of Hazebrouck, The Defence of Nieppe Forest and The attack at La Becque during the Battles of the Lys. During the Advance in Flanders they were involved in The capture of Vieux Berquin, and The action of Tieghem. They crossed the River Scheldt on the 9th of November and at the Armistice the forward units had reached Everbecque and the River Dender. They moved back to the Arques-Blendecques area and demobilization began.

Game Description

The 223rd will not be simply another regiment in Iron Europe. We will be an elite team of engineers who will know how to build the best defense, when to build the best defense and where to build the best defense! Each member will have training each week and will learn the codes behind how to build the best defense and bunkers. You will train along side fellow engineers and along side a well trained full regiment, giving you much experience. Engineers will work in teams of a minimum of two people. These teams will work alone of the field or will be assigned to squads in the WG or other regiments who require help. Each member will be in radio contact with me at all times as I advice them on what defense or assault structures need building. However, in many situations you will require to command yourself and know what the best base to build is!
