Garwood - Bridging Photo

"The regiment did all the bridging for the army of Georgia from Savannah to Goldsboro, N. C., including a pontoon bridge over the Savannah at Sister's Ferry, where the men worked for six days in water from two to four feet deep. In this campaign the regiment made over 16,000 feet of bridges, much of the work being done at night with the enemy in close proximity."
