American Military Cemetery, Pacific Island, World War II (USS Petrof Bay Collection)
Rows of white crosses mark a temporary American military cemetery on a Pacific island during World War II, likely in the Mariana Islands following the 1944 campaign. An American flag flies over the burial ground, a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made during the drive across the Central Pacific, supported in part by escort carriers such as USS Petrof Bay.
