About This Item
Hardcover. Good. More than 350 photos, mounted 1-10 to a page on both sides of the album leaves. Most are in corner mounts but some have cellophane tape around edges and a handful have been glued down. Tied oblong brown album. Approximately 39 x 29cm. Quality of photos varies but most are clear with good detail. No captions. Our soldier starts the album with about 13 photos of basic training at an unnamed location, followed by about 26 photos of Hawaii. 26 of what appears to be New Guinea, and 135 of indeterminate Pacific locations, including the Philippines and a handful of Japanese photos (probably taken from captured or killed enemy soldiers). The final 182 photos appear to have been taken somewhere in Kansas or Missouri after our soldier returned from the War. White sidewall tires figure in several of the home pictures. The album has no documents or letters to assist in identifying the photos or their probable location.
