The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Coast Artillery batteries, massed parade reviews, rail yards, and coastal posts record the U.S. military presence around Manila Bay in the years before World War II. Interspersed with town scenes and scenic overlooks, the images preserve a peacetime garrison soon transformed by the invasion of 1941-42.
