For American servicemen stationed in India during World War II as part of the China-Burma-India Theater, a visit to the Taj Mahal in Agra was a memorable respite from the demands of wartime duty. This photograph, labeled simply 'The Taj' in the photographer's own collection, captures the enduring beauty of Shah Jahan's 17th-century mausoleum, a sight that left a lasting impression on countless GIs far from home.
