Public Plaza with Equestrian Statue, North African City, WWII Signal Corps Photo Album

Civilians cross a busy public square in a North African city during World War II, beneath the watchful gaze of a colonial-era equestrian statue and the domed towers of a nearby mosque or municipal building. Photographs like this, taken as part of a Signal Corps photo album, document everyday life behind Allied lines during the North African Campaign of 1942-1943. Project: 218290
