Abstract:

Album of 195 black and white photographs, mostly snapshots by a U.S. soldier, presumably stationed at Andimeshk judging by clippings pasted in back. Images primarily are of fellow soldiers, scenic views, vehicles, local peoples, and architecture. One photo features several soldiers posing in front of a sign for "506 Ordnance Co." Also includes three copy/commercial photos of Roosevelt, and one of Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill. Clippings feature humorous poems and mention a project by U.S. Army troops to assemble trucks for the Russian Army in Iran.
