A panoramic view of Srinagar, Kashmir, showing the city's densely built traditional wooden houses with distinctive turf roofs beneath the Himalayan foothills. A hilltop fort-likely Hari Parbat Fort-crowns the ridge at left. Photographed by an American serviceman during World War II, this image reflects the popularity of Kashmir as a rest-and-recreation destination for Allied personnel serving in the China-Burma-India Theater, far from the front lines of the war in Asia.
