Reservists from the Midlands, Channel Islands and south Wales have been gathering on a Dorset beach to learn the art of bridge-building. The Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers are the only remaining militia in the ranks (and are the only British Army unit to use the word 'royal' twice in their name) with a service record dating back centuries, and have been working on a crossing fit for a modern battlefield after a week on the ranges.
