World War Two » Journey Across The Pacific Front

When a photo shop, in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho closed its doors in the late 1970's, these prints were discovered at the back of a drawer. A relative of Bob and Millie Wilhenson, the shops owners, contacted War Photos in the hopes of sharing these photos with the rest of the world.

After extended research, and feedback from visitors, we estimate that most, if not all of the photos are reprints which were sold or given to active service men while they were at war as mementos.

We are proud to present these beautiful photos to you, some of which are difficult to find or possibly original, as part of our galleries.

The following photos are all from the pacific theatre. Some of them are of Iwo Jima and others are of Bougainville Island. Other locations are unknown.
