Japoma Bridge

About

The Japoma Bridge (also known as the Edea German Bridge or the German Bridge) is a former railway bridge over the Sanaga River near Edea, Cameroon. Note there is now another bridge across the Dibamba River called the Yapoma Bridge. It is sometimes called Japoma Bridge, which causes confusion, for example, in accounts of the fighting during WW1 - see the First Battle of Edea. Gorges (1920: 153) shows the other one.
