A soldier entertains fellow troops with a vocal performance on a makeshift stage in the China-Burma-India Theater, near Myitkyina, Burma. Following the city's hard-won capture in 1944, rear-area entertainment such as this — organized by units themselves or through USO-style programs — offered soldiers a brief respite from the harsh conditions of the Burma campaign, one of the most physically demanding theaters of the Second World War.
