The Snapshots in Time Collection
Dal Lake and Houseboats, Srinagar, Kashmir, India – WWII China-Burma-India Theater Collection
This tranquil view of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, shows traditional houseboats lining the shore beneath Hari Parbat hill and the snow-capped Himalayas. Kashmir was a favored rest-and-recreation destination for Allied servicemen stationed in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II, offering a striking contrast to the jungles and combat zones of the wider CBI theater.
