The Snapshots in Time Collection
Mountain Valley Landscape, China-Burma-India Theater, WWII Era
This atmospheric landscape view captures the rugged, mountainous terrain characteristic of the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater during World War II. Taken from an elevated position overlooking a terraced valley with a winding road and a small village cluster, the photograph reflects the difficult topography that Allied forces contended with while supplying Chinese and British forces fighting the Japanese in this remote theater. Personal snapshots like this one, taken by servicemen stationed in the region, offer a rare glimpse of the everyday landscape beyond the combat narrative most often associated with the CBI campaign.
