The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: WWII KWAJALEIN MILITARY ALBUM
A serviceman's wartime album documents the 1944 assault on Kwajalein Atoll, with shattered palm groves, destroyed Japanese fortifications, amphibious tractors, and the tent camps established after the atoll's capture. A home-front snapshot preserved among them measures the distance between the Central Pacific campaign and the life left behind.
