The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 5
Everyday life at forward Pacific bases anchors this selection from the Edward P. McAleer albums: pyramidal tent camps, boom trucks, debris-strewn beachheads, and servicemen on Kwajalein in 1944. A memorial marker on an invasion beach and an equator-crossing certificate set the camp snapshots against the campaign that surrounded them.
