Thanks for that Angie. The real success of the Bailey bridge was not just its complete simplicity, but the speed that one could be put in place. I would like to write a history of the Assault bridges I have been involved with, from Pegasus Bridge on the Orne river, right through to the German border, we built a real beauty at Weert in Holland. though I see it has now gone.
But I do see an enormouse scope for a description of my personal involvement with the Assault Bridging. Baileys and all.
