BRIDGE THOSE GAPS

The video features Leslie Mitchell reporting for Movietone, highlighting the Sappers' role in bridging the Thames during the army exercise Hotspur. The Sappers, experienced from previous exercises, successfully construct a pontoon bridge. Meanwhile, in Poland, the Vistula River's ice jam causes a wooden bridge to collapse, a challenge even the Sappers might struggle with.
