Portrait of a Young Burmese Woman with Traditional Parasol, China-Burma-India Theater, WWII
A young Burmese woman poses with a traditional paper parasol in this portrait taken during World War II, part of a personal photograph collection documenting service in the China-Burma-India theater. Images like this, taken by American servicemen supporting the Ledo Road and air supply operations to China, offer a rare civilian counterpoint to the military record of the CBI campaign.
