Description: | The B Squadron, Assault Wing, of the Assault Training and Development Centre originally moved to the Normanby area in late 1944 to train a Regiment on the Trent for crossing the Rhine. The Trent at Burton was chosen because it exactly duplicated the current, speed of tide and width of the German river. This plan was overtaken by the course of events but the unit stayed on in the area experimenting with amphibious armoured vehicles. David Gibb can be seen third from the left. Also in the photograph are Sergeant 'Money', 'Ginger', Dennis Bulmer and Gordon Stone. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | Normanby Normanby_Hall Halls_and_Houses World War II Burton_on_Stather Armies Water_Assault_Unit Buildings_and_Structures Places Second_World_War Soldiers Military People | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
