The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 4
A small group of Pacific Theater photographs sets the routines of service against the wreckage left by urban combat, with GIs hauling a K-ration crate through their tent camp and manning an improvised signal post above open country. Shattered colonial and neoclassical buildings in the same sequence record the cost of battles such as those at Manila and Okinawa.
