This photograph features a collection of German pontoons positioned on the banks of the Meuse River in Dun-sur-Meuse, France. The image captures a military scene from World War I, showcasing the engineering equipment used for bridging efforts in a significant wartime context. Pontoons, which are flat boats or floats, were essential for establishing temporary bridges, facilitating the movement of troops and supplies across the river during military operations. During World War I, the Meuse River was a critical geographical feature that witnessed several important battles and logistical maneuvers. The German Army utilized pontoon bridging to enhance mobility, especially during offensives such as the Battle of Verdun and later operations on the Western Front. The use of such pontoons exemplifies the military innovation and engineering capabilities of the time, making the management of river crossings a vital aspect of warfare strategy. ***GERMAN PONTOONS USED TO BRIDGE MEUSE - DUN-SUR-MEUSE***
