Intro Hello!

[ENGINEER]

Hope I can add some good new pics here. My Dad was Royal Engineers. His fave expression about the war was "When we left I had to blow them all up, and when we went back I had to build them again". ENJOY THE PICS.

Welcome to MI.Net mate

The wanderer returns. I am going to take you back to November and December 1945 with the building of Neinberg bridge acrosss the Weser. This is a Bailey bridge. Dad's bridge was Club Bridge. I have his personal photos many of which are in pristine condition , still slightly curved from the printers . I have his engineering notes too.
I will scan all and post them and then they can go off to Imperial War Museum if they want them. They need to be in archives.

@ENGINEER You have started the archiving process by posting them here and uploading them to our servers, we aren't going anywhere soon mate.
Welcome to MI.net and thanks for sharing the pics of your Dads bridge. Awesome stuff
