King George’s Own Sappers And Miners Elephant Foot

1 Item

Elephant foot. || Last week the Royal Engineers Museum had a work experience student, Daniel, who wrote some posts for us. Here is one of his posts: This hollowed out elephant foot belonged to the KGOSMs for bridging work up to 1914. KGOSM stands for King George’s Own Sappers And Miners and they used elephants for building bridges. Because elephants were strong they could move the materials needed for the sappers to build the bridges the British needed to win the war and could help the miners to make mines so they could get the natural materials needed to make guns and ammunition for the troops on the front line.
