Two American servicemen pause for a casual photograph outside their tented quarters at an overseas encampment during World War II. Dressed in lightweight khaki service uniforms suited to a tropical climate, the men hold beer bottles in a relaxed, off-duty moment far from the formality of parade or combat. Photographs like this one, drawn from a personal wartime album, offer an intimate glimpse into the everyday camaraderie and downtime of troops stationed in demanding overseas theaters such as China-Burma-India.
