The Snapshots in Time Collection
Photo Album Page, Edward P. McAleer Collection — Majuro Atoll, Pacific Theater, WWII
This page from Edward P. McAleer's personal WWII photo album documents his time stationed at Majuro Atoll in the Marshall Islands, a key U.S. Pacific base secured in early 1944. Hand-captioned snapshots show a silhouetted gun emplacement against the atoll's palm-lined shore and McAleer himself standing before his tent quarters, offering a personal window into the daily life of servicemen supporting the Pacific island-hopping campaign.
