US Military Tent with Woven Bamboo Enclosure, Luzon, Philippines, WWII

A U.S. Army tent, its base reinforced with traditional Filipino woven bamboo paneling, stands at the edge of a village road on Luzon during World War II. Nearby nipa huts and mountain terrain reflect the rural setting in which American forces were billeted during the 1944-1945 liberation of the Philippines. Project: 218437
