Album Page: Field Encampment of Regimental Headquarters, 105th Infantry, Hawaii, c. 1942

This scrapbook page documents the field encampment of a Regimental Headquarters — identified as the 105th Infantry — dispersed into camouflaged bivouac positions in Hawaii, likely following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Snapshots show homing pigeons used for communication, a makeshift Post Exchange, camouflage-netted shelters, and the everyday soldiers who lived and worked there. Project: 218622
