T. W. J. Connolly

T. W. J. Connolly was a quartermaster of the Royal Engineers in the mid-nineteenth century who served for many years in the Corps of Royal Sappers and Miners. Drawing on its records and on the recollections of its members, he compiled the History of the Royal Sappers and Miners, first published in 1855 and reissued in an enlarged second edition in 1857, tracing the corps from its origins in 1772 until its men were merged into the Royal Engineers in 1856.
