    Hi Chaps,

    Would anyone happen to have the WD's for 615 Fd Sqn for period August 19th - 28th, 1944? Just to need to check for a map reference for a possible bridge they built during this period, D-D Bailey Class 40?]

    All help greatly appreciated.

    Hi Tom,

    thanks so much for this, sadly it doesn't answer my question re bridging activity which I know they ought to have been engaged in at this time. Although it's possible that whatever bridging activity they were involved in happened after they'd crossed the Seine.

    Pete,

    Only bridge building in Sep 44 according to the war diary was at the ALBERT CANAL. Details below against 6-7 Sep 44.
