A young Filipina mother and child pose for a snapshot amid the ruins of war-torn Luzon during the Philippine Campaign of World War II. The woman's traditional striped wrap skirt contrasts with the child's Western-style overalls, reflecting the blending of cultures common in the islands. Rubble and a damaged structure in the background bear witness to the widespread destruction that swept the Philippines during the 1944-1945 liberation campaign. Project: 218434
