Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This bridge was erected under heavy fire by the bridging train of the Australian Engineers with the Desert Mounted Corps. It was the first to be built across the Jordan, which was running at about five miles an hour. The scrub was very thick on either side, making the approaches difficult; but the whole work was completed in an hour and three-quarters. Those on the bridge are (reading- left to right): — Capt. E. J. Howells, Major Dick, — C. Riley, Lieut. Campbell, Lieut. Kidman, Sapper Dawson, M.M., Lce.Corp. M'Guigan, Corp. Slrang, Lieut. E. S, Claydon. The photo graph was taken by General Chetwode
