Thank heavens for that Kitty. Why I ask, even though it was brand new there is always the chance that something would go wrong. It is always comforting to know it worked well
Cheers Kitty
Best wishes

Just reading in the 5th Div History of something similar to those "skis".

Demonstration was given also on that day of the "snow shoes" that were invented within the Division for moving about unscathed in minefields. They appeared to be effective.

It doesn't mention whether they used them after the demo.
