194484881Virginia: U.S. ARMY 64TH ENGINEER TOPOGRAPHIC BATTALION USAFICPA 1944. Poster. Good Plus. Three informational propaganda posters in a series comprising 4009-1; 4009-2; and 4009-7 each measuring approximately 17 1/2" x 11 1/2". Each of the three shows a central fold crease and one shows considerable smudging or perhaps dry mold; each is now protected in a stiff archival sleeve. Bottom corner of each reads "Reproduced by 64th Engr. Top. Bn USAFICPA" followed by the graphic number. We're guessing that these posters did not come out of the far larger mapping divisions in the Topographic Battalion but were from the "Graphic Arts and Distribution" division domiciled in Virginia. The artist for each is "BRAD". <br /> <br /> 4009-1 depicts a tank surrounded by attacking Japanese soldiers who are attemptng to overrun the tank lobbing grenades etc. but who are repelled ostensibly because well it's a tank and the fact that the soldiers in the tank are prepared. The caption in the top right corner reads: "'STOP THE JAP"/Infantry Troops Should Always be Ready and Able/ to Stop the Enemy from/ Swarming over Our Tanks!" <br /> <br /> 4009-2 diagrams relative positions of squad placement whose job is to accompany the tank. The caption below reads: "PROTECTING YOUR TANK" In Thick Country with No Enemy Contact -- about Half a Squad should Accompany the Tank Very Closely 5 Yds. and the Remainder Following Close Support You Must Be His Eyes Thru the Jungle and the Spotter for His Fire.Ancillary note follows at bottom reminding that these spotter scouts are guiding the movement of the tanks through the undergrowth.<br /> <br /> 4009-7 shows "TANKS OVERRUNNING ENEMY POSITION": Infantrymen Advancing for the Mop-Up while their Buddies Cover Both Them and the Tanks by Fire.

17320WWII-era photographs measuring 11.5" x 7.25" Multiple locations undated Ca. 1940s. With 67 photographs ranging in size from 3.5" x 2.5" to 5" x 4" of a serviceman and multiple generations of his family. Photo Album. U.S. Army Training Camp and Domestic Life in the American South circa 1940s. Oblong photograph album containing approximately estimate based on images shown original black-and-white vernacular photographs most snapshot size corner-mounted to black paper leaves. Circa 1940-1945.<br /> This photo album documents the intertwined military and domestic life of a white American serviceman during the World War II era combining images of U.S. Army training facilities with scenes of rural Southern family life. The military photographs depict a cantonment landscape of low wooden barracks dirt roads telephone poles and regimented formations of soldiers assembled outdoors. One sequence shows uniformed men standing in formation across an open parade ground while others capture military transport vehicles-open troop carriers filled with soldiers-moving through base streets lined with identical wood-frame buildings. Individual portraits show a soldier in full uniform posed formally in front of barracks and beside mid-1940s automobiles suggesting pride in service and upward mobility through military affiliation. A small chapel with a steeple appears prominently underscoring the role of religion in wartime military culture. Another building features an exterior metal slide descending from a second-story opening-likely part of a training or emergency drill structure-emphasizing the regimented preparedness of wartime camps.<br /> Interwoven with these military scenes are intimate images of domestic life: a woman and uniformed soldier standing together on the steps of a clapboard house; a couple tending a vegetable garden beside a brick home; a man seated in a wooden rocking chair reading a newspaper on a brick porch; and several rural outdoor scenes including hunting practice cooking over an open fire and resting beside a parked automobile in a wooded clearing. One photograph shows a small brick utility structure with a cupola and central doorway possibly a pump house or guard building with a suited man posed formally in its doorway-an image that contrasts sharply with the utilitarian wooden barracks of the training camp. A sequence labeled "Camp" partially visible in the images depicts a married couple posing with a wooden sign in a wooded recreational setting indicating leisure travel or stateside furlough during wartime. The album thus captures the dual identity of the mid-century American serviceman: disciplined soldier within the expanding military-industrial system and family member rooted in agrarian and small-town America. Historically the photographs reflect the rapid expansion of U.S. Army training installations in the early 1940s following mobilization after 1940 and especially after the United States' entry into World War II in December 1941. Temporary wooden cantonments-often constructed quickly and economically-became defining features of Southern and Southwestern landscapes. The imagery of standardized housing blocks troop transports and parade formations corresponds with this wartime infrastructure boom. Simultaneously the domestic photographs illustrate gender roles and social norms of the era: women appear primarily in domestic or garden settings while men are shown in uniform hunting or performing outdoor labor. The album therefore offers institutional collectors insight into the lived experience of wartime mobilization rural domestic culture and the social fabric of white middle- and working-class America during the WWII home-front era. As a cohesive vernacular record rather than an official military archive the album provides valuable visual evidence of how national service reshaped everyday landscapes and identities. Condition: Photographs are corner-mounted to black paper leaves; overall clean with minor silvering and light surface wear typical of mid-century snapshots. Album binding shows expected handling wear along edges but remains intact. Very good overall condition. unknown
1918232501918. World War I Fort Bliss soldier training and camp life photo album from El Paso ca. 1918 recording the rapid wartime expansion of a border post into a large World War I training environment through tent rows drill formations truck convoys gas-mask instruction and group portraits of enlisted men in uniform. The album grounds that setting in specific internal evidence including the handwritten caption "Thanksgiving Ft. Bliss Texas 1918" beneath a group portrait the tent sign "Ambulance Company No. 10 / Men Wanted" and a large camp scene captioned "Ready for Business / W.H. Horse Co / El Paso Tex." Additional photographs follow soldiers through inspection lines recreational and theatrical moments camp interiors and exteriors and transport scenes giving the album a broad documentary range centered on military routine rather than formal ceremony alone.<br /> World War I era training album at Fort Bliss El Paso Texas. Circa 1917-1918. Photograph album containing 49 original black-and-white photographs mounted on black cardstock photographs ranging approximately from 2 x 3 inches to 3.5 x 5 inches. Images include extensive camp views including long rows of tents men standing in formation a soldier posed before camp quarters and a large gathering identified in manuscript as "Ready for Business." One image shows a woman in military-style uniform saluting the camera possibly a YWCA servicewoman. A substantial section documents motor transport and field organization through ambulance and truck lines crowded vehicle scenes and the recruiting sign for Ambulance Company No. 10 but these sit within a wider record of ordinary post life that includes mess and tent arrangements wooded camp settings dogs and mascots informal portraits a gas-mask training portrait stage performance views beneath an American flag rail lines and trestles mountain roads canyon routes and several personal portraits among them a woman in military dress and another street portrait with a uniformed soldier. The sequence suggests a soldier-assembled working album built from service experience at Fort Bliss and nearby western travel rather than a commercially produced souvenir.<br /> The album places Fort Bliss within the wartime transformation of the U.S. Army on the Mexican border and in the Southwest when posts such as El Paso functioned as training transport and staging environments for newly mobilized troops. Its strongest documentary value lies in the accumulation of ordinary but specific military details: tent architecture vehicle organization gas defense drill troop formations mess arrangements rail infrastructure and the handwritten Thanksgiving 1918 notation that fixes part of the sequence to the closing months of the war. Black paper album with spiral binding; photographs corner-mounted throughout; several prints with creases abrasions or edge losses but images in overall very good condition; album itself sound and complete. Overall very good condition. A photographic record of Fort Bliss that preserves how soldiers organized camp life training movement and leisure in El Paso during the World War I years. unknown
1945189141945. U.S. Army and Navy photographs of Okinawa 1945 document the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Okinawa and the establishment of American control over a strategically critical island at the close of the Pacific War. The images place American troops within the Okinawan interior and along coastal installations following the April 1945 landings including the secured Yontan airfield a primary objective of the invasion. The archive records the physical destruction resulting from one of the war's most intensive campaigns alongside scenes of civilian movement and return situating the photographs within the transition from active combat to military occupation.<br /> <br /> Archive of 37 black and white silver gelatin photographs. Okinawa Japan circa 1945. Photographs measure approximately 3.75 x 4.5 inches to 7 x 10.5 inches with brief handwritten captions on verso. Images depict American troops in villages farmland and near shrines as well as at Yontan airfield. Several photographs show destroyed aircraft including a crashed Japanese plane and associated debris along with damaged infrastructure and equipment. Naval activity is represented through images of American ships in harbor and offshore including a landing ship dock LSD transport vessel. An aerial photograph shows a harbor with multiple wrecked ships and flattened industrial areas. One image documents a column of civilians carrying belongings captioned "civilians returning to homes."<br /> <br /> The Battle of Okinawa fought from April to June 1945 resulted in extensive military and civilian casualties and widespread destruction of the island's infrastructure. The subsequent American occupation transformed Okinawa into a major U.S. military base in the western Pacific a status it retained even after reversion to Japanese administration in 1972. These photographs document both the operational objectives of the invasion and the conditions encountered in its aftermath including the displacement and return of local populations. The archive provides material for examining military strategy occupation practices and the impact of large-scale warfare on civilian landscapes in the Pacific theater. Light wear consistent with handling; overall very good condition. unknown
