Engineer Troops Day in Belarus
January 21 · Level 8 · #557 of 2238
Engineer Troops Day in Belarus honours the military specialists who build crossings and fortifications, scout terrain and clear mines. Without sappers an army would find it much harder to move.
How it is celebrated: units hold solemn gatherings and give awards to servicemen who have stood out.
Belarusian soil still holds ammunition left from the Second World War, so sappers regularly find and defuse it in fields and forests.
