Today the @25CSEngrGp battlefield study took on the formidable River RHINE. Back in 1945, the Allies of 30 Corps crossed this as part of Op PLUNDER... That is some scale of planning and engineering effort! @22EngrRegt @26EngineerRegt @21Engr @RMonREM @23_Amph @Proud_Sappers pic.twitter.com/CfY6L8TOS3

Are you thinking of running a Battlefield Study? If yes contact the REHS to see how we can help. @25CSEngrGp did. They’re in the Rhineland learning how the British Army crossed the most formidable of obstacles...the Rhine. pic.twitter.com/y3xT2ptWG7

It was and remains a great thing to say ‘I fought at Arnhem.’ I was brought up on their legend. Had the great privilege to meet John Frost who commanded 2 PARA in 1944 and for much of the war - the true father of the battalion. Also Digby Tatham-Warter of umbrella fame. Great men twitter.com/britisharmy/st…

Fantastic pre-cursor to @25CSEngrGp’s battlefield study of the 1945 Rhine Crossings - #ExDiaboloOdyssey. ‘Buffalo’, ‘Stalwart’, ‘DUKW’, ‘Landing Craft Air Cushion’ - brilliant examples of adaptation & innovation. Thanks to @RE_Hist_Society, @TankMuseum, @TheArmourCentre, @52AES. pic.twitter.com/rW31gbBUR9
