U.S. engineers erect pontoon bridges at St. Sauveur. Members of a U.S. Army engineering unit, prepared for such emergencies, erect a pontoon bridge at St. Sauveur, Normandy. Most of the bridges over the river were destroyed by the retreating Germans. St. Sauveur le Vicomte was captured after bitter fighting by American troops of the Allied Expeditionary Force during their drive across the Cherbourg Peninsula.
