Mmmmm I knew a guy who watched SOME of the convoys going down to Weymouth and Portland to embark for D Day. He counted 850 tanks and tracked vehicles, he gave up trying to count trucks. There were more going through the night but he was called in for bed. The Canadians built “Canada” bridge near Lydlynch in Dorset as a temporary measure, as the little stone bridge next to it was a tiny hump back affair and a bottle neck. That temporary bridge is still there doing great work.

@CobraEmergency

Is that over the River Lydden on the A357 by any chance? There's a lot of 'temporary' bridges that ended up becoming permanent. It is always fascinating how good quality engineering built in desperate times still lasts. Google maps link: maps.app.goo.gl/yj8srheMVuK7xtwA7 850 tanks and tracked vehicles! My word. What a sight that must have been!

@MrTreacletime

Yes indeed it is. I worked with a guy now sadly gone who watched the Canadians build the bridge in a field, that night he scratched his name in the paint on the top! Next day it was hauled over the river by means of pulley and finished. The only thing they had problems with were the timbers over the river were found to be rotted out when it was resurfaced. Then there was a kerfuffle as I think pressure treated creosote Oak was required. Difficult to get in a hurry, and an environmental nightmare over a river! My mate went on to bump into Richard Nixon who got lost in Hong Kong Kai Tak enroute to Vietnam, but he said that was nothing compared to being back in Lydlynch earlier in the war when looking up at aircraft noise one night he saw a Beaufighter take out an He111 which he said dropped like a stone in flames onto a cottage in the village. @@CobraEmergency

The most pointless deployment ever? Russia is doing it all over Ukraine, despite the nonsense in the British MSM which beggars belief, spouting such brazen nonsense - so bad it's damaging to democracy as no one knows the truth any longer. And Russia is revving up, has such a vast hinterland that most of it cannot be touched, a short supply route to the front lines and knowledge of the terrain, infrastructure, enemy and winter warfare en-masse. Why Britain thinks it ought to stick its nose in to further provoke them with no possible good result is beyond me. Send Sunak and his children, or perhaps make a Foreign Legion of our own if the government really believes so many of the 'all males of fighting age' newcomers care about the UK so much.
