My friends dad, Ray 'Dusty' Smith, was on the very first British tank across the bridge and he had one hell of a fight on his hands!
Excellent piece of history, cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely fascinating footage fascinating thank very much for this
Glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff!! Thanks for posting.
I think this is the bridge at Neerpelt and not Joe's Bridge at Barrier Lommer (N69)? Still very nice footing of the 4th Armoured Brigade I guess. 👍
To be precise, the tanks are driving across the bailey bridge that was built next to Joe's bridge.
My friend lives in that building now.... It's in Lommel!
Good vid.
The commentary doesn't match the video.
True, it is a radio report of the battle on the 17th of September mixed with footage of tanks crossing Bailey bridge next to Joe's Bridge
