While
history books can teach us a lot of things there is to know about the World War
II, nothing can capture the brutal reality as well as photos of real people who
were affected by it.
During
WWII, war photographer and writer James Allison working for the Houston Press
noticed that many photos not printed in the newspaper were discarded. He asked
the permission Houston Press to collect and save the discarded photographs. As
the end of the the war, Allison collected more than 4,600 photographs of World
War II. In August 1977, James Allison donated his collection to the Arkansas
Museum of Science and History. Thanks to him, we can now view the haunting
images that will remind us of the brutality and great suffering of war at the
MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History.
