The Snapshots in Time Collection
Portrait of Local Burmese Women, CBI Theater, WWII Collection
Local Burmese women pose in traditional dress outside a thatched-roof village home, photographed by American personnel serving in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. Images like this, often labeled simply 'natives' by the servicemen who took them, document everyday village life encountered far from the front lines. Project: 218081
