This serene canal scene, framed by snow-capped Himalayan peaks, was likely photographed in Kashmir, India, during 1944-45 by a member of the Allied forces serving in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. Kashmir's cool mountain climate and picturesque waterways made it a favored rest-and-recreation destination for servicemen seeking respite from the heat and hardship of the Burma campaign.
