Handwritten Caption Card: 'Guam, May 1947, Camp Sealy' — VR-6 Squadron Photo Album, Agana, Guam
This handwritten caption card, reading 'Guam, May 1947, Camp Sealy,' comes from a personal photo album kept by a member of Naval Air Transport Squadron VR-6, stationed at Agana, Guam, in the years following World War II. Squadrons like VR-6 flew long-range transport aircraft across the Pacific, sustaining occupation forces and rebuilding island bases. Simple archival notations such as this one provide crucial context — date, location, and unit — for the personal photographs preserved alongside it. Project: 218208
