www.forces-war-records.co.uk/units/4445/pioneer-corps/

In September 1939, a number of infantry and cavalry reservists were formed into Works Labour Companies. These, in October 1939 became the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps (AMPC), and a Labour Directorate was created to control labour matters. On 22 November 1940 the name was changed from the AMPC to the Pioneer Corps.


edit
the document in your first post dates to 7 August 1940 so that fits

Thanks, that makes sense.

There are some interesting documents there, if you search on homeguard or Home Guard and various other keywords.
