Handwritten Caption Fragment, WWII China-Burma Theater Archive

A faded pencil inscription from a wartime scrapbook, part of a collection documenting American servicemen in the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. Handwritten captions like this one accompanied snapshots in personal photo albums, offering firsthand context that formal military records often omit -- in this case, a brief note referencing enlisted personnel and a new rotation or tour of duty.
