Full title:Building a Pontoon Bridge. The first step in constructing a pontoon bridge, namely, the driving of heavy stakes
to hold the supporting cable, is here nearing completion, and a unit in a rubber boat is shown paddling to the opposite shore
trailing a rope which will pull the cable across the stream. This unit, under the direction of Captain Nakada, 232nd engineers,
can assemble a pontoon bridge in a matter of minutes. The 442nd combat team at Camp Shelby is composed entirely of Americans
of Japanese descent who volunteered for services in the armed forces. This unit of approximately 8000 men is undergoing intensive
training in all branches of combat duty, and they are looking forward with eagerness to actual services at the front.<lb/>
