Sapper is a Royal Engineer.

If you have 'sapper' as part of a clue, almost certainly means the letters RE are in the answer.

Just to be pernickety, a Sapper in the the Royal Army Engineering Corps (RAEC) is the equivalent of a Private in the infantry. The same equivalents in other branches are Signalman in the Royal Corps of Signals and Gunner in the Royal Artillary Corps. There are others!
