The Taj Mahal, Agra, India - WWII China-Burma-India Theater Photograph Collection

The Taj Mahal in Agra, India, photographed during World War II by an American serviceman stationed in the China-Burma-India Theater. For many U.S. troops transiting through India to supply routes over 'The Hump' into China, a visit to this seventeenth-century Mughal mausoleum was a memorable stop, and photographs like this one were treasured souvenirs of their wartime service abroad.
