Soldiers Gathered at Approach to Destroyed Bridge, Luzon, Philippines, World War II
A group of soldiers pauses at the edge of a demolished bridge in the Luzon mountains, the collapsed steel span visible cascading down the ravine below. Encounters like this were common during the 1945 Luzon Campaign, as advancing units frequently found their routes blocked by bridges destroyed by the retreating Japanese army. Project: 218437
