Default Monty's bridge, Caen

Here's a great shot taken August 12th, 1944 of the 20th Field Co., Royal Canadian Engineers hard at work building Monty's bridge at Caen. It's interesting to see the box frames used as the piers on which the Bailey is built. This very long span was built in only 8 days.
