American Red Cross Worker with Karen Women and Children, Burma, World War II
An American Red Cross worker meets with Karen women and children inside a bamboo village structure in Burma during World War II. The Karen people, an ethnic minority in Burma, provided crucial support to Allied forces during the Burma Campaign, and humanitarian outreach such as this reflects the close wartime relationship between Allied personnel and local communities in the China-Burma-India Theater.
