Cheers Chad but isn't that an American unit.
Mention of Bridgelayers on Cavendish Road here.
CHAPTER 18 — Cassino | NZETC Quote:
The bridgelaying tank with B Squadron was called up, but the craters left by the heavy bombs on the rain-sodden routes were so large that they could not be spanned with this equipment....

Must be from one of the NZ sapper units.
Also used in the town.
Quote:
A troop of scissors tanks undercommand for the operation was called by radio and one was ordered forward from where they were waiting, a mile or so from the Rapido bridge.
The scissors tank duly arrived and its bridge was put down across the bomb crater, but through some damage to the mechanism the tank was unable to disengage; while it recovered its burden another scissors asked for urgently came up and successfully put down its bridge
