If I remember, the current was horrid, and the bridge was not put up in the best time of the year. My hat is off to those engineers.

A real good siege engineer was worth their weight in gold to someone trying to attack a fortified city.MrGarabaldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768774166065615995noreply@blogger.com
