Though catalogued within a World War II 5th Marine Division / Iwo Jima photograph collection, this image depicts an entirely different scene: a young woman feeding poultry in a farmyard, evidently a personal or family snapshot rather than a combat photograph. Such images are frequently found mixed into military photo collections, carried by servicemen as keepsakes of home or later archived together with wartime prints. It offers a glimpse of the rural American life that many Marines and soldiers left behind, and to which they hoped to return. Project: 218309
