[Begin Conclusion]
266. This history is up-to-date to June 1965. Changes occur in establishments and personnel continuously, and during war time it is not always possible to determine accurately unit moves changes in establishment and transfers in and out of units.
267. The information contained in this history has been obtained from archives, records, and by personal approach to members of units mentioned. It is hoped that it is a reasonably true account of the history of RAEME in South Australia.
268. The corps of RAEME is expanding continuously and with the advent of newer, more complex equipments and more reliance being placed on mechanical and electronic aids and devices, RAEME tradesmen will be required to keep abreast of current equipments and techniques to enable them to do what they have done in the past, that is, to keep the maximum amount of equipments serviceable and with the owner units.
