Yokwe. This is a relatively long page with lots of images, but nothing fancy. (No cookies, but a few modest java applets.) It should load, eventually. Photos can be used, if credited, for non-commercial purposes. Below are two undated (unmailed) postcards of Kwajalein. Click on either to enlarge.
The postcards (left, then right) read: KWAJALEIN
MISSILE RANGE, MARSHALL ISLANDS, The "Sands" Bachelor Quarters 50076-C
Giant radar "saucer" on the island of Roi-Namur, KWAJALEIN ATOLL, MARSHALL
ISLANDS 922-C. The postcards were both produced by Dexter Press (either
L.A., California, or W. Nyack, N.Y.)
This MAY be the company website (Dexter Press, Aurora, MO.)
Historic (late W.W.II.) photos
of Kwajalein
[Republic of the Marshall Islands]
Below are a series of photos from either 1944 or 1945 from Kwajalein. To the best of my knowledge, these images are unique and constituted a private collection. The sole exception is the last image, which is obviously a photo snapped of other photos. I do not know the exact dates or specifics of any of the photographs. Many of the photos were labeled in pencil (generally May-June, 1994) and had an imprinted data (I assumed done by the developer) from 1945. [Historians, or former residents may contact me, and I can provide high resolution TIF images, which should show more detail.]
I retained the sepia color of the photos, but presented the first in both true sepia and greyscale. The photos had clearly faded, and many showed evidence of being mounted in a scrapbook. I'm sorry if the thumbnail images are blotchy. The high resolution images are much better.
I welcome any information you
may send. If you have original photos of the Marshalls of this sort
that you'd like added, please contact me and I will consider appending
them to this page, or creating another.

I wish this was not necessary, but:
This site, including sub-pages and including the photos, is considered copywritten. I possess all of the photographic negatives and dated backups burned to CD, so if it comes down to it, I will not have difficulty proving that the photos are mine. Links to this site are welcome, and photos can be used elsewhere if you include the proper credit/link.
