Street Scene with U.S. Army Pro-Station Signage, French North Africa, WWII Era
A wartime street scene, likely in French Morocco, shows a U.S. Army "Pro-Station" directional sign amid French advertising billboards and local pedestrian traffic. Such prophylactic stations were established by the U.S. military wherever American troops were garrisoned to combat venereal disease, reflecting the everyday infrastructure that accompanied the overseas deployment of American forces during World War II.
