Destroyed Wooden Trestle Bridge Over Water, c. 1930s
The twisted, collapsed remains of a wooden trestle bridge lie broken over the water, a common casualty of the fighting that swept through China's countryside and cities in the 1930s. Bridges like this one were frequently destroyed, either to slow an advancing force or as a target of bombardment, disrupting transport and daily life alike. Project: 218606
