Squadron Tent with Hand-Lettered Sign in Jungle Camp, China-Burma-India Theater, WWII

A squadron tent nestled in the jungle of the China-Burma-India Theater, complete with a hand-lettered sign reminding personnel to clean their shoes and a makeshift log walkway to combat the region's notorious mud. Such improvised camp fixtures reflect the day-to-day ingenuity of Allied airmen stationed in the demanding CBI environment during World War II. Project: 218052
