Then you’d go on exercises. And all the exercises we’d go on, we had our own, carried an 80 foot gap, the bridge footers all the time and we hopped all along laying bridging. And that went on for about probably six months and they’d wondering why, well we knew why. Each bridge that we built there was a bridge in France or Belgium or Holland. That was the idea of getting this. And we always built them in the night time. No day work, just to get you used to the, they’re very strict on making noise and you never make noise and your mallets were the pins in the bridge, they were silenced. You never make a noise. You never talk. You knew your job. You done your job.
