Download or read book Patton s Fighting Bridge Builders written by Joseph C. Fitzharris and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These words may seem to have been written by an advance infantry unit or a combat brigade, carrying out an assault against entrenched enemy troops. Instead, this hair-raising narrative comes from the diary of “B” Company of the 1303rd Engineer General Service Regiment, a “non-combat” unit attached to Patton’s Third Army during his epic pursuit of the retreating German forces across France during August, 1944. Though the 1303rd (called “the thirteen-third” by its soldiers) was supposed to perform its duties outside the zone of armed conflict, these men found themselves acting as the southern flank of Patton’s rapid advance. More than once, they had to re-build bridges the Germans had hastily destroyed in order to permit the continued advance of American troops—often doing so under enemy fire. Twice they were called upon to deploy as infantry in holding back German attacks. Careful editing and annotation by military historian Joseph C. Fitzharris corrects occasional lapses in the diary, clarifies references, and provides important context for following the movements and understanding the importance of Company B, the 1303rd, and its sister regiments. Patton’s Fighting Bridge Builders rewards its readers with a new understanding of both the messiness and the bravery of the Second World War.

At full distance infantry weighs 225 lbs. per lineal foot--well within the limits; but a check in the column, and the consequent crowding, more than doubles the weight and carries them beyond the limit. Infantry therefore should be required to cross in column of twos. Trestle Bridges. Upon streams with hard bottoms, and velocities not exceeding 6 feet per second, trestle bridges are much resorted to in America. They possess many features which recommend them to the military engineer, not only for the improvised bridges built by armies in pursuit, but also for the more substantial structures erected on lines of communication. There are many kinds of trestles--each claiming special merits for itself--in use by civil and military engineers. Only those adapted to the military service in thia country, will be described here. To meet the requirements of the military service, a trestle should be strong enough to sustain the artillery and baggage trains of ihe army, simple enough to be constructed by the labor of the troops out of rough round sticks, and capable of ready adjustment to irregularities of bottom. Among many which meet these requirements may be mentioned: --The Six Legged Trestle.--This trestle can be made of round logs, by soldier labor, and will adapt itself to almost any irregularity of bottom. It is composed of--4 Vertical legs, 6 inches in diameter. 2 Bracing legs, 6 inches in diameter. 1 Cap or girder, 8 inches in diameter and 12 feet long. 2 Foot pieces, 8 inches in diameter and 3 feet long. 10 White oak pins, 3 inches in diameter. There are no tools required, except those usually carried with troops, namely, axes and augers, and some rope. For raising the trestles, two..
