Engineers Build 30 Minute Bridge Across the Pruem
U.S. Army engineers of the Fifth Division constructed a 30 minute bridge of engineers across the Pruem river under fire from German artillery. The crossing required quick action as shells fell within feet of the site. Lieutenant Philip Selther, a veteran of eight river crossings, waited six hours at the bridgehead before infantry moved forward. Despite a bombarded area, the team completed a crossing after one bridge was knocked out, and a second span was laid by thirty men in under half an hour with only three wounded all day. A German shell burst within 15 feet of the bridge area, missing the crews when it exploded as a dud.
