Mountain Trail and Snow-Capped Peaks, Burma-India Frontier, 1944-45

A sweeping mountain landscape along the Burma-India frontier, photographed in 1944-45 during the China-Burma-India campaign of World War II. Travelers with a pack animal make their way along a narrow trail beneath snow-capped peaks, a reminder of the rugged terrain American and Allied forces navigated to supply the war effort in China via routes such as the Ledo Road.
