This is a scrapbook/photo album of World War II news wire photos and news text of the war in the Pacific. It features some graphic photos of prisoners of war and soldiers wounded or killed in action. None of the photos will be uploaded to our online archive and will only be available on the Museum's computers.
The photos will be accessioned individually along with the original text supplied with the photo where it is still intact.
This page shows two photos. One shows a Marine being operated on in the Marshall Islands on a troop transport. The other shows two soldiers talking about their experiences, one served in the Civil War and the other in WWII. One is 99 year old Theodore A. Penland and the other is his grandson PFC Floyd Malcolm Penland.Collection
