Comments by "Big Blue" (@bigblue6917) on "Amphibious Landing Craft - Widow Compensation - Repatriation I OUT OF THE TRENCHES" video.
Hi Indy. With regards to amphibious landings, the British had planned a beach landing which was to flank the Germans trenches on the Belgian coast. For that they designed, built and successful tested a tank with floats on either side. It was the WW1 equivalent of the Duplex Drive Shermans used on D-Day. Though Gallipoli was a failure it did prove valuable in planning D-Day, including small raiding craft used to get troops ashore.
