P-1187Description
Engineers Building Pontoon Bridge. The engineers of the Unites States army will see a lot of service during the present war, and they are the most efficient body of engineers in the world. This is one of the most important branches of the service, and frequently the most dangerous. The engineers are often as much as a days march ahead of the main body of troops , clearing roads, preparing camp sites, and building bridges. A pontoon bridge similar to that shown here can be constructed in a few hours, and serves the need of the hour as well as the most elaborate bridge built at great expense of time and money.
