Photos of India during WWII

From Vasanth Blog I found reference to nice collection of more than 600 photos of Inidan cities during the second world war. The photos are very nice. These photos are available Digitial South Asia section of University of Chicago.

The Hensley Collection is comprised of photographs taken during World War II by an American serviceman, Glenn S. Hensley. The images include a rich array of photographs taken in Calcutta during 1943-44 by Mr. Hensley, a professional photographer participating in the surveillance of the Japanese in Burma for the U.S. Army. During his off-duty time Mr. Hensley used his ethnographer's eye to capture daily life in a number of locations around India. The majority of the images are from Calcutta and its environs. Other locations in this collection are Madras, Kharagpur, Agra, and Burma. The photographs and notes were prepared by Hensley for his wife to use in teaching world history courses in Missouri during World War II.
