The Snapshots in Time Collection
Roi-Namur Officer's Club Membership Card, Marshall Islands, WWII, McAleer Collection
A hand-illustrated membership card for the Officer's Club on Roi-Namur, a small twin islet in Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands, seized from Japanese forces in early 1944 and transformed into a major American air and naval base. Ephemera like this club card offered wartime servicemembers a small taste of normalcy and camaraderie amid the remote Pacific outposts of the war. Project: 218138
