The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 3
Personal snapshots taken by American servicemen in the Pacific Theater during 1945 bring together portraits of GIs at rest, displaced Okinawan civilians sheltering along a riverbank, and local women photographed in villages, gardens, and traditional Filipiniana dress. Alongside a military formation marking the arrival of Japanese surrender emissaries, these informal images record how the war's final campaigns touched soldiers and civilians alike.
