A quiet small-town street scene, likely photographed in the serviceman's California hometown before or during his WWII service in the China-Burma-India Theater. The Fair Oaks Bank building and adjacent barber shop reflect the modest commercial architecture of early-to-mid 20th century America. Personal snapshots such as this were frequently kept alongside overseas service photographs, illustrating the home front that servicemen carried with them -- and returned to -- during the war.
