American Servicemen Bathing in River, China-Burma-India Theater, WWII

American servicemen take advantage of a river to bathe and cool off during a lull in operations in the China-Burma-India Theater. With few developed facilities in this remote and rugged region, troops often relied on local rivers for washing and recreation, a welcome respite from the heat, humidity, and hardships of jungle campaigning.
