The Snapshots in Time Collection
Pacific Islander Woman and Children on Wooden Porch, WWII Pacific Theater (USS Petrof Bay Collection)
A Pacific Islander woman and children are photographed on a village porch, likely during a port call by the escort carrier USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) at a Pacific island base during World War II. Photographs like this, taken by American servicemen, document the everyday lives of island communities encountered during the Pacific campaign. Project: 218452
