What was the status of EOD units in WW2?

Were there EOD units deployed into frontline divisions of the different armies of the worlds? Or were they not very concerned with explosive ordinance on the battlefield? Or were EOD units only stationed in mainland Britain to clear unexplored bombs? Thanks! Keep up the great content Indy and team!

I hope so, exploded allied bombs were all over the area we landed and advanced on, not to mention the Great War unexploded artillery and chemical shells that are there still today in worrisome numbers, great questions! Thanks
