War-Damaged Manila Harbor with U.S. Army Trucks and Wrecked Pier, 1945
A damaged pier and harbor district in Manila bear the scars of the 1945 battle that liberated the city from Japanese occupation. U.S. Army trucks assembled in the yard beyond reflect the massive logistical effort required to restore the Philippines' capital and its vital port facilities in the war's final months.
