Gallery: LABELED KAREN CHURCH SERVICE
A Karen church service in wartime Burma, with villagers gathered in a bamboo-and-thatch sanctuary, a gong calling worshippers, and hymns recorded by an American serviceman. Portraits of Karen women and girls in woven skirts and layered silver jewelry document a community whose alliance proved vital to Allied operations in the Burma campaign.
