The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: WWII Pacific
Official Navy and Marine Corps combat photographs of the 1944 Marshall Islands campaign, from supply landings and dug-in Marines on Kwajalein to the base at Eniwetok and the D-Day approach to Saipan. Servicemen's personal snapshots of airfields and thatched island villages accompany them, pairing the record of the Central Pacific offensive with the everyday view from the ranks.
