The American Bridge, Vierstraat, Belgium

The bridge crosses the small stream the Kemmelbeek. In the August 1918 offensive the centre line of the attacking American 27th Division crossed over this bridge, hence its local name of American. A plaque on the bridge records that it was constructed by 245th Army Troop Company RE, a specialist unit of XIX Corps. Date: 2016
