Bridge Repaired by 315th Eng'rs - Sassey, France

Hoffman, Peter B.

A bridge that was repaired by the 315th Engineers in Sassey, France during World War 1. The right side of the photograph shows a waterway. There is a wooden or metal object sticking out of the water and floating or standing in the water. The opposite side of the bank can be seen and is grassy with a few, leafless trees in the background. The right and front of the photograph shows a bank with debris scattered all over it, including pieces of wood. The bridge extends from the left to the right center of the photograph. The left side has a small hill that is hiding part of a stone wall that was a part of the bridge. The stone wall soon turns into a skeleton of wood frames that is holding up the walkway of the bridge. This is the part that all the debris looks to be from that is sitting in front of it in the water and on the bank. The wooden frame then turns into a stone bridge that has 5 arches underneath and within the stone for an arched architectural bit. In between each arch, by the water level is a circular stone piece out from the face of the wall. There are electrical poles before the first arch on the left and in between the 3rd and 4th arches on the bridge. There are also electrical poles that can be seen on the other side of the bridge. The top of the bridge has a wooden fence that extends from the left to the middle and then the fence turns into stone.
