Friendship - strictly platonic - blooms in the jungle as T/Sgt. Tom McGowan and Pvt. George Oehrlein chat with two nurses of Lt. Col. Gordon S. (Burma Surgeon) Seagrave's hospital unit. |
With the jungle backdrop as inspiration, S/Sgt. Charles Stewart sits on his hammock and composes a "sugar report" to the little lady back home. Love and kisses. |
Here's one for the family album, taken somewhere near the Burma-India frontier. Cpl. Jacinth Santos and Cpl. William Trombley are pictured with a bullet-riddled Japanese helmet. |
Dem bugs will bite you if you don't watch out, even if you're a Kachin (a local inhabitant). An insect bite infection is treated by S/Sgt. Alex J. Haggis. |
Sgt. Wayne J. Six fufills a promise made to his jungle supply porters. They get a big kick out of clambering aboard the sergeant's jeep for a Sunday afternoon drive. Relations are friendly between the local inhabitants and the G.I.'s. |
It's a regular Ferryboat Serenade as Pvt. Ludwig Bierl, T/5 John Bessaw, Pvt. William Jewell and Pvt. Noel Marion ferry supplies across the Tarung River in a dugout. This river empties into the Chindwin, scene of much recent fighting. |
