Close View of Demolished Steel Bridge Wreckage with Soldiers, Luzon, Philippines, World War II

American soldiers examine the wreckage of a demolished steel bridge in a Luzon mountain gorge. The riveted steel girders and trusswork, twisted from the force of demolition, illustrate the scale of engineering destruction encountered by U.S. forces as they pushed through the Philippine highlands during the 1945 Luzon Campaign.
