Field Water Point and Squad Tent Encampment, China-Burma-India Theater, World War II
A field water-supply point in the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. Engineers rigged a small boat with a pump to draw river water, feeding an elevated wooden tower that supplied a nearby tent encampment -- a simple but vital piece of infrastructure that kept Allied forces functioning in the remote jungle and riverine terrain of the Burma campaign.
