"Nearly 7000 names are recorded in this volume - within most cases some biographical details; no endeavour has been made to include British Engineers operating abroad, and the majority of those contained in this record are active engineers whose work lies in the United Kingdom."
The records in the main include the surname, forename(s), British order of chivalry, qualifications, accomplishments and appointments as well as the private address, career and education. In some instances the age, war service and useful dates are included, providing a fascinating insight into individuals.
