Servicemen on River Boulder, Dinjan-Tibet Border Region, CBI Theater, WWII
Two American servicemen pause for a photograph on a river boulder amid the dramatic mountain scenery near Dinjan, Assam, gateway to the treacherous 'Hump' airlift route over the Himalayas into China. This remote corner of the China-Burma-India Theater supported one of World War II's most demanding logistical operations, and photographs like this one capture rare quiet moments enjoyed by the men who kept that vital supply line running.
