The Snapshots in Time Collection
Scrapbook Page: Marine Training Camp Formation, Amphibious Tractor Liberty Photo, and Morehead City Seashore Route Ticket — WWII US Marine Corps Collection (McAleer Album)
A page from a Marine's personal wartime scrapbook pairs everyday memorabilia with camp life: a Morehead City, North Carolina 'Seashore Route' bus ticket, a photograph of troops in formation before a tent encampment, and a candid snapshot of Marines relaxing atop a beached amphibious tractor (LVT). Together these fragments evoke the rhythm of training-camp routine and rare moments of liberty along the North Carolina coast during World War II, where Marines prepared for amphibious operations in the Pacific.
