Allied engineers build pontoon bridge in Italy. A Canadian lance-Corporal with a boathook pulls a pontoon into place as engineers of the British Eighth Army build a pontoon bridge over the Sangro River in Italy to replace the bridge destroyed by Germans as they retreated before advancing Eighth Army troops. Other engineers secure another ropes for the pontoon bridge which will serve until new spans can be thrown across the old bridge piers.
