The Snapshots in Time Collection
Scrapbook Page: Clark Field, Leyte, Manila, and Santa Rita Snapshots, Jack T. Kelley Collection, 1945-1946
This scrapbook page traces Jack T. Kelley's path through the Philippines campaign, from a wrecked bomber at Clark Field to a photograph taken on Leyte, an ornate Chinese-style gate in Manila, and a candid, playful snapshot captioned 'Lucky' from Santa Rita. The mix of damage, landmarks, and lighthearted moments captures the full range of a soldier's experience during and after the 1944-1945 Philippines liberation campaign. Project: 218324
