This photograph of the Taj Mahal's marble staircase and archway in Agra, India, comes from the WWII-era China-Burma-India Theater collection. For thousands of American servicemen stationed in India supporting the Allied war effort against Japan, sightseeing trips to landmarks like the Taj Mahal offered a memorable respite from wartime duties, and personal photographs such as this one document those experiences alongside military service.
