Two young Filipina women pose beside a coconut palm in a Luzon village, in a candid snapshot likely taken by an American serviceman during or just after the 1944-1945 liberation of the Philippines. Everyday details -- simple cotton dresses, sandals, a thatched nipa hut, and laundry drying nearby -- offer a glimpse of civilian life on Luzon amid the upheaval of the Pacific War. Project: 218433
