581st Signal RR Co. on Hill 775 - South Korea (1951)

18. New Pontoon Bridge

A pontoon bridge has been built over this river. I have no idea what river it might be. One time when I passed this way no bridge could be found. Instead a group of Army Engineers had an Amphibious vehicle called a DUK. They taped the exhaust and gas tank and drug the truck across the river with your vehicle under water. On the other side they got the vehicle going again and off you went. The seat was a little soggy but you got across.
