Howdy sapper of the South!
Snowing to beat the band up here today!
I'll leave all the river crossing stuff to you en-guneers

but the gunnery stuff I'll happily jump in and comment... the trails are spread so the gun can't be hooked to the jeep. Looks like it is chocked into place so that the spades don't skid back on recoil.
Its quite the lashup! I wonder if it ended up doing submarine trials as well!

Mike... shiverin' in Ottawa
