The Snapshots in Time Collection
WWII Servicemen's Personal Photo Album Page -- Rainbow Falls and Steam Vents, Hilo, Hawaii
This page from a World War II-era personal photo album documents recreational stops in Hawaii, likely during transit through the Pacific Theater. The snapshots -- taken at Rainbow Falls, Coconut Island, and the volcanic steam vents near Hilo -- capture servicemen enjoying rest-and-relaxation leave, a common respite for military personnel staging through Hawaii en route to or from combat zones in the wider Pacific and Asian theaters of war.
