Young Burmese Girl Carrying Infant, China-Burma-India Theater, WWII
A young girl carries a small child on her back through a Burmese village during World War II, photographed by an American serviceman stationed in the China-Burma-India Theater. Images like this, often taken informally by GIs, document the daily life of local civilians amid the wartime campaign to keep vital supply routes such as the Burma Road open against Japanese forces.
