Young Woman Arranging Her Hair, China-Burma Village Setting, WWII Era

A young woman pins up her hair outside a rural dwelling in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. Photographs like this, taken by American servicemen stationed in the region, offer a glimpse of everyday civilian life amid the wartime activity of the CBI theater, where Allied forces worked alongside local populations to keep the vital supply route to China open.
