Tank Crossing

A Memory of Skelton on Ure.

Does anyone remember the tank crossing that was built at the River Ure at Bridge Hewick? It was built so that Sherman tanks could practice moving in water for the later Normandy landings in 1944. We used to see them every day as we passed over the bridge on our way to school in Ripon. Has anybody got a photograph of the tanks in the river at that time? If so let me know please with contact details.
