Ca. April 1944 – August 1945.

Item #8934



Two oblong Folio albums, each ca. 22,5x32 cm (9 x 12 ½ in). Each album with 55 and 53 linen-backed original gelatin silver photos respectively. All but one photos are ca. 20x25 cm (8 x 9 ¾ in); one smaller photo is ca. 20x19,5 cm (8 x 7 ¾ in). All but about fourteen photos with the stamps of “U.S. Army. Signal Corps” in negative. All but six photos with paper labels, mounted on verso, with detailed typewritten information about images (number, caption, date when the image was taken, the name of the photographer), many with pencil corrections by military censors. Six paper labels are missing. All photos with multiple period ink stamps on verso: copyright of the U.S. Army Signal Corps (“When authorized for publication – credit must be given, photo by U.S. Army Signal Corps” and/or “Processed by the 164th Signal Photo Co. Laboratory Section”), and/or stamps “Negative shipped to Washington,” and/or permission for publication by a military censor (“Passed for publication, U.S. Army Press Censor, China Burma and India”). About ten photos with period ink stamps or pencil notes: “Not for publication” on verso (a couple crossed over with pencil). Two period custom-made bindings with brown wooden boards fastened with metal bolts, (one bolt missing). Bindings slightly rubbed, a couple of images with minor scratches, several title labels on verso slightly faded or with minor tears, but otherwise very good albums of strong interesting photos.

Historically significant extensively annotated collection of large photos, taken by the servicemen of the U.S. Army Signal Corps in Burma (Myanmar) and India during the Burma Campaign of WW2. The photos cover the period from April 1944 to August 1945 and focus on the American involvement in the recapturing of northern Burma and building the Ledo Road. This route from British Assam to Kunming (China) was constructed in 1942-1945 by U.S. troops under the command of General Joseph Stilwell (1883-1946) and enabled the delivery weapons and supplies aiding China in its war effort against Japan. The photos are supplemented with detailed captions, dates and names of the photographers. Most of the images passed military censorship and were allowed for publication by special ink stamps on verso, but many captions have pencil corrections by censors, crossing out sensitive information (mostly still visible). The names of most censors are visible on the stamps. About ten photos, mostly related to the U.S. military actions in northern Burma, bear ink stamps “not for publication” on verso.
The albums include over thirty photos of Northern Burma and the construction of the Ledo Road, showing the U.S. troops, trucks, and building machinery near Myitkyina, Mogaung, Kazu, Htiyi, Mong Wi, Lashio, &c., and marking the recapture of Myitkyina (August 1944) and the first convoy to pass through the entire Ledo Road (January 1945).
