Two American servicemen pause at a Chinese war memorial obelisk in August 1944, during the China-Burma-India Theater campaign of World War II. The monument bears the White Sun emblem of the Republic of China and an inscription dated to the 33rd year of the Republic (1944), commemorating Chinese Nationalist forces. Such joint encounters between American personnel and local memorials were common as Allied troops operated alongside Chinese forces against Japanese occupation in the region. Project: 218084
