Boy Scouts and their leaders, 1945

Item

Identifier: 2010.100.1.183

Scope and Contents From the File:

Portions of the following photographs were originally found sleeved and packed into one small envelope; the remaining photos were found loosely packed into another small white envelope. Both envelopes were laid in between the Leyte Island photos and Leyte (Island)/Tacloban (town) photographs. The Leyte/Tacloban envelope became dislodged from the other photos so it is uncertain which photos specifically belong to which group.
