The Taj Mahal, Agra, India, Photographed by a CBI Theater Serviceman, 1944-45
The Taj Mahal in Agra, India, photographed circa 1944-45 by an American serviceman serving in the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. For many CBI personnel stationed in India, a visit to this iconic Mughal-era mausoleum was a memorable highlight of wartime leave, and photographs like this one were commonly brought home as souvenirs of their service abroad.
