Members of the 18th Field Company,
R.C.E. are doing a curious thing to the
Bailey bridge over the Schipbeek Canal
at Bathmen, Netherlands on April 9th
1945. They are laying an addition layer
of wood to the roadway. The
bridge was a 110 foot triple single and
was rated at Class 40, which means
that tanks could cross it.
