Editing Pontoon bridge (section)

===Early 20th century===
[[File:3e régiment du génie.jpg|thumb|[[:fr:3e régiment du génie|3e régiment du génie]] (French Wikipedia), The 3rd French Regiment of [[Pioneer (military)|Pioneers]] are building a Pontoon Bridge over the river [[Ourthe]] in [[Chênée]], [[Belgium]] in the 1930s.]]
The British Blood Pontoon MkII, which took the original and cut it into two halves, was still in use with the British Army in 1924.<ref name=think/>

The First World War saw developments on "trestles" to form the link between a river bank and the pontoon bridge. Some infantry bridges in WW1 used any material available, including petrol cans as flotation devices.<ref name=think/>

The [[Kapok Assault Bridge]] for infantry was developed for the British Army, using [[kapok fibre]]-filled canvas float and timber foot walks. America created their own version.<ref name=think/>

[[Folding Boat Equipment]] was developed in 1928 and went through several versions until it was used in WW2 to complement the [[Bailey Pontoon]]. It had a continuous canvas hinge and could fold flat for storage and transportation. When assembled it could carry 15 men and with two boats and some additional toppings it could transport a 3-ton truck. Further upgrades during WW2 resulted in it moving to a Class 9 bridge.<ref name=think/>
