Verso of Photograph with 'Wewak' Annotation and U.S. Army Censor Stamp, World War II Era
The reverse of a World War II photograph, annotated 'Wewak' and bearing a U.S. Army censor's stamp. Wewak, a major Japanese base in New Guinea, was a frequent target of Fifth Air Force bombing missions, and censor markings like this one reflect the wartime review of photographs before they left the combat zone.
