Engineers Work With Spades Guns in France Front Lines

Engineers toil near the coast with the Ninth Air Force as bulldozers level land for a landing strip in France. Riflemen guard half the crew while others clear mines and booby traps, working 14 hours daily amid German dead, fox holes, and a French family aiding in battlefield relief. Local French civilians report German soldiers encountered and neutralized. The engineers face danger removing mine fields and advancing construction under artillery and air operations.
