Western Visitors at a Mughal Garden Terrace, Kashmir, WWII CBI Theater

American and Allied personnel stroll through a Mughal-era garden in Kashmir in this WWII-era photograph, labeled from a China-Burma-India Theater collection. During the war, servicemen stationed in India often traveled to Kashmir's cool mountain valleys and historic gardens, such as Srinagar's Shalimar and Nishat Bagh, for rest and recreation leave far from the demands of the CBI campaign.
